Tomorrow i arrive in Santiago

My second last day on the camino had large portions of trail lined with oaks. The packed gravel underfoot was scattered with oak leaves and acorns. Lots of birds singing and the the faint smell of cows on the cool fresh air.Stone markers along the path give that all important feedback...how far yet to go.

 

Only 19 km to go tomorrow.

 

I am exhausted and excited simultaneously.

    May you step lightly along the last 19 km and recollect all the wonders along the way. A monumental accomplishment!

    what an accomplishment! Tonight I thought: Oh, I haven't caught up with Barbara for a couple of days. Gotta see where she is, how she's doing. And now I see - you are near the end of a long but beautiful journey full of adventures, sights, sounds, smells, pilgrims and new friends.
    I am in awe of your determination and accomplishment.
    Bravo!
    And soon, we will hear more stories as we gather around the turkey:) Safe trip home!Fondly,
    Julia

    The oak-lined camino looks great and so do you. May it be a marvellous march into Santiago as you klick off those last klicks. May you enjoy and cherish the day.
