Tradition has pilgrims walking three days west of Santiago to Finisterre, land’s end. We were unorthodox and took Sophie’s convertible. Top down of course.
Up on the rooftop tour of the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela. The roof was angled steps allowing soldiers quick movement.
Let the celebration begin.
Arrived! Santiago de Compostela Cathedral.
From outskirts, to neighborhoods, to first glimpses of the Cathedral.
These are the images that will become flash memories…moments without the pack, freshly squeezed orange juice, open churches, sello(stamps) documenting my walk, the whirling sound of approaching bikes, blue skies, and sun.
In the pink…
How eerie it was to see a site I vividly remembered from June 22, 2014, four years ago. Though only a week later in June, the river offered welcomed relief from the heat and sun. With this year’s unseasonably cold and wet weather, no one gathered by the river.
Returning to Inglesia de San Juan was a special moment for Solphie as the crucifixion depicts Jesus with one hand reaching Heaven and the other hand reaching Earth.
