Muxia!
What a wonderful day and wonderful weather! My Camino is now complete, I am full, I have been blessed and my journey has ended. I am surprised that I am not sad at all, just filled with joy to have walked so far and shared in so many lives. I am blessed as I have gained so many friends from all over the world, our days together will not be forgotten, maybe we will share in future adventures?
Today was very special, viewing and feeling the Atlantic ocean, walking in the sun, walking in the sand, and believe it or not I ran into friends I have seen only once since we all started in St. Jean, we walked to the top of the mountain in Muxia together, a very special moment.
I am off to Santiago tomorrow for a little shopping and fun, then on to Madrid for a day, then home. I think I am ready for my own bed.
Thank you all for walking with me, peace and love from Spain!

Finisterre!
I am in Finisterre now, it is raining very heavily and I want to walk to Cabo Fisterra today, I have a shirt that smells badly and needs to be burned. lol Soon I will walk there even in the downpours, I have to see what was thought to be the very end of the world.
Yesterday while I was walking through the mountain paths on my way to Finisterre I came to an opening in the trees, I saw Finisterre for the first time from very high up in the mountains, it was beautiful! I feel complete now that I have reached Finisterre, my Camino is done! The emotions I felt upon walking into Finisterre were overwhelming, even though I walked the Camino Finisterre alone, I felt a much stronger sense of accomplishment than when I walked into Santiago. Life is wonderful for sure.
I can´t believe I ran into my Camino friend from when I started the Camino, she just shows up out of no where, I love it when I hear Jess yell ¨Hey Al¨, I always smile and get a warm heart!
Tomorrow it is on to Muxia, I have a beautiful pension reserved for two days, I even chose to pay a little extra and have a view of the ocean as my Camino will soon end.
Buen Camino my friends.
