To Santiago

Oct 2, 2016 Santiago 24km (FINISHED)
The trek was longer than usual, but the time went by quickly. Met a new pilgrim, Josh from Connecticut. It's always nice to meet new people and share stories about the Camino. And met up with Kevin, Christine and Carol again and enjoyed a drink at one of the rest stops. Kevin is much younger and I think he's on a pub crawl. I don't know how he can keep walking after so many beers. Made our way into Santiago, along with many other pilgrims who were happy to cross the finish line. We needed champagne to celebrate, but because it was Sunday the supermarket was closed. There were a few small stores open and after searching the town we could not find champagne, but fate was on our side today. As we made our way to our hotel, we found a tiny store with champagne chilling in the cooler. What luck! And how tasty!
