I made it to Santiago! I use the exclamation point, but I´m not really sure it´s appropriate for how I feel. In fact, I don´t really know how I feel. Yesterday I was quite emotional walking through the Eucalyptus woods, and today when I saw the Santiago sign on the road, I felt sick to my stomach, and wanted to run the other way. But, now that I´m here, it´s lovely seeing old pilgrim friends!
I stayed the last 2 nights in pensiones with my Australian friend Paola which was a lovely change from the Albergues, and we walked into the city thismorning together. I also met up with my friends Anna and Helen and had lunch, and am about to meet up with them in a bit. Tomorrow I get to just hang out in the city, and Thursday I´m taking the bus out to Finisterre (The end of the earth) to meet Tash, who started walking today (it will take her 3 days to walk there). So, more to come on exactly how I feel about this whole thing being over...need some time to chew on it all.
Saturday it´s off to Madrid to visit my cousing Curry, and then in a week or so it´s off to Germany to chill with my good friend Jen!
