- Time of past OR future Camino
- 1999 Burgos-SDC, 2003 Leon-SDC, 2007-2012 Le Puy-SDC, 2014 Burgos-Covarrubias, Camino Ingles 3 times
I arrived in Santiago last Wednesday after having walked Camino Ingles and spent Thursday in town. It was a nice day, but also a little sad - will this be the last time in Santiago?
After a good breakfast in The Hospederia I thought I was smart and went down to the Pilgrim's office at 8.15 to get my Compostela. But so were a lot of other pilgrims, so there was already a long line. But after one hour and 15 minutes I got my Compostela.
Then I went to the cathedral to attend the English service. It was really nice to be there and understand the language in the service Since I am not a Catholic I didn't take part in the communion but I got the blessing from the priest. So it was time for the Pilgrim's mass and a new blessing. At least ten priests there, I think it was the Feast of the resurrection. And at last, the Botafumeiro! So what a day, two blessings and the botafumeiro!
After a nice visit in the Pilgrim's House I strolled around for a while in town before it was time for the overnight bus to Madrid.
Well, will it be my last time? Camino Ingles was meant to be my last Camino, but now I don't know..
Ps: I went around all day in a t-shirt with my avatar on, but no one recognized me....
