June 25

Walked ron Arzua to Lavacolla.
First of all thank you for all the comments, even this morning  before my walk I read your letters.
Had another wonderful walk, left the albergue with a frenchman and a lady from Spain but after a few kilometers walked blissfully alone. Had cafe con leche and met Brigitte from switzerland and walked the rest of the way with her, we now share aroom in a hotel, what bliss to have a bathroom where I can lock the door. Walked today further than intended as the hostels were full.
Hard to believe that I o





nly have 10km. to Santiago, will start walking at 6:30am. Then I will be just in time to get my Compostela and attend pilgrim mass at noon. There are 7 of us who will walk in to Santiago together.
My feet are now fine and I feel like I could walk further, as some will go on to Finisterre, but Santiago is enough for me. Will book a flight to Brussels in the afternoon.
Hugs and Thank you to all.
Grateful Pilgrim.

  5. Oh Greti!!! It gives me goose bumps reading this wonderful post,you are so close to your goal! As I am sleeping, you will be walking your final leg of this fantastic journey. My heart and my mind's eye can imagine you getting your passport stamped and on to Mass. There are many of us who have traveled with you in spirit; tomorrow the "Magnificent 7" will walk together and forever be bound together with your shared experience.
    Much love, K

  11. Da kann ich mich den obigen Kommentaren nur anschliessen.
    Ich habe dir eine Email geschickt mit einem Lied, das ich zufällig gefunden habe. Es ist jetzt 9:50 am Mittwoch morgen und ich denke mal du bist fast am Ziel angelangt, aber vielleicht kannst du es doch noch anhören.
