Well… the walk is over. Made it from Lisbon Portugal to Santiago de Compostela Spain in 23 days. 620km/385 miles.

Met some good people, said goodbye to some good people and have walked on.

This was the third consecutive year for walking the Camino, the fourth Camino. Plans are in the works for walking next year. Who knows what it will be like but it can only further enrich the whole Camino experience.

Luis, Kylie, Mercedes, Doris, Koldo, Phil and all of the others that I met on the trail made this Camino special.

============

Bueno – ya se acabo el camino de nuevo. Este año fue desde Lisboa Portugal a Santiago de Compostela – 620km en 23 días.

Ya conocí unas buenas personas, me despedí de ellos y seguí andando.

Este Camino fue el tercer año seguido y el cuarto camino. Ya estamos planeando el próximo el año entrante. Que será, no se sabe todavía, pero solo se va agrandecer la experiencia del camino.

Todos las personas y más que había mencionado hicieron ese camino especial. Gracias!

The last day of the Camino was a fun-filled day full of memories.

Got up a six, walked 26km with the obligatory coffee stops every 90 minutes or so. Arrived in Santiago around noon and watched other friends arrive in the plaza.

Checked into the albergue, showered and then off to the Compostela office. A three hour wait dissuaded us and we created an impromptu group to get all of our Compostelas processed while we went out for drinks and pastries and met more friends.

Wandered around until we found a restaurant at 2100hrs. Wonderful dinner and a good time. Ended up leaving the restaurant at midnight. Hitting a bar on the way home – leaving at 2:00 this morning.

Then we decided to go dancing and have more drinks, getting back to the albergue at 0430.

Best night in a long time.

Love this place love these people.
