We limped into Santiago Sunday morning just in time to attend the pilgrims mass and we made a contribution to ensure that the church would collect enough in donations to swing the incense burner. Very awesome! After mass we stood in line for over an hour to get the coveted compestela. Yea!! After a thorough grilling to make sure we had. walked the required 100k we were awarded the certificate. We walked a total of 252 miles but if you don't walk the last 100k you are out of luck!
Went out today to Finnisterre (end of the earth). and Guy threw his rock into the ocean to absolve his sins just in case Phil & Mikki didn't toss a big enough one on the rock pile
Buen camino to Phil & Mikki and we will see you soon. Also a special thank you to Mr. Beefeater for supplying a delivery system for the tonic needed to deal with the lactic acid in our legs.
Karen & Guy
Yay! Glad you two were able to make it the last 100K and get your certificate! 252 miles is quite an achievement! You should be proud! Guess you'll be seeing Felipe y Miguelita soon and the four of you can really celebrate! Congrats!--Marcia y David
