  2. I was surprised to see people standing when the Botafumeiro was swinging… Not very safe ! I remember that last time – with you – all the pilgrims were sitting and it was said that nobody should stand or move during the show…

    1. I share your same warm feeling arriving at the cathedral. It’s joyous share the thrill with people you’ve”leap frogged” with. On last flight to home. All the best dear friend. ~linda
