Made It!

Yahoo!!
I made it to Santiago de Compostela! After walking an average of 18km a day we finally arrived.
The area around the Cathedral was full of people, tourists, pilgrim's, school groups! After attending Mass we joined the huge line up of pilgrim's getting their official credential for completing the Camino. After an hour wait we got a beautiful certificate with our name on it and a tube to carry it in. We headed for the nearest restaurant/ bar to have lunch and drinks to celebrate.
The weather was wet and cold but our spirits were high as we settled into our hotel and got ready to attend the evening mass with the famous Botafumeiro, a huge incense burning container that is swung at the end of the service. - Very impressive! (Will post a video later)
Of course, another dinner and drinks was in order ... a day of celebration for sure!
