October 2: Santiago de Compostela

A beautiful walk in the woods to Santiago. And I met up with the young woman from Berlin (Remember: I am her hero which makes her my favorite pilgrim on this Camino.) I have her picture.
I arrived in Santiago early afternoon. The volunteer at the pilgrim office was totally baffled with the certificate from San Antonio. I think she just eventually took my word for it. I was ready to direct her to information, but there were many pilgrims- so she just moved me along.

I’ve posted a video of my approach to the cathedral- the bagpiper is in his full glory.

Look closely to the purple bandana hanging from the left side of my waist pack. Presented to me by Dana Ballentine on my day of departure. She presented it with a long list of magical mojos to keep me safe and intrigued on this Camino. Luckily, I didn’t have to remember the mojo list for them to work!

This was about 4 miles / 6.5 Km from Santiago.
