I'm happy to hear that, at least the facade of the Cathedral will be free of scaffolding when I get there next August. This will be my second camino but my husband and my brother's first. I'm sad that they are likely to miss the botafumiero swinging. But as with all of life, the Camino is about letting go and finding joy in what IS, not what might have been.I am on mobile, but just read this in the paper.

Last year, I went to mass in San Francisco. A beautiful church and the congregation was mostly locals with just a handful of pilgrims. Now everyone is going to find out about this beautiful secret. Maybe, there wont be the same amount of tourists at the mass. My first experience of mass in the cathedral was one of mixed feelings. The tourists had occupied most of the seats and were sitting chatting. Pilgrims were in the wings in almost stunned silence. One tourist then rushed up pushing his way to the front of the line to snatch a Holy Eucharist from the priest's hand and stick it in his pocket. He must have thought it was a free souvenir. My instinct was to go after him and say or do something but my Protestant friend put his hand on my shoulder and said, 'leave it to the Lord'. So mass in San Francisco I am really looking forward toLovely that it will be held in San Francisco - there's a very special feeling in there.
Not everyone will feel this way, of course, but without the botafumerio swinging (and the attendant circus of camera-clicking tourists), the mass will be more what it's meant to be.
We must be in parallel universes, @zolarose.When I was there in 2014, it was the 80th anniversary of St Francis making his pilgrimage.
