arrival at Santiago - we did it!



We walked in at 6 pm after a long day and had a rest in the square before the cathedral. Then we went and got our certificates of completion. You can get one if you walked at least the last 100 km, or cycled 200km and did it all for spiritual purpose. We were asked ´Did you walk the whole way?´ YES

´Did you catch a taxi or bus?´NO

We were very thrilled to get our certificates. They are made out in Latin to Hugonem and Carolam, the Latin interpretaions of Hugh and Carrie

The photo of the cathedral is the next morning, in the mist

Great pictures and very good text. You should rightly be very pleased with yourselves.
Somehow I feel to know you. Strange about the name, but I am proud of it and both of you.
Have a safe jorney home and I will hear more news from Dad, Hugh no doubt soon.
My very best wishes.
