As I received Compostela number three I said to the volunteer "There it is, my last Camino!" and she made the very same reply "See you again next year".Camino 5-2009 March 22 taken by a lonely policeman just after dawn!
When I received my fifth Compostella the polyglot clerk checking the records smiled and whispered "See you again next year".

And when you could still enter the cathedral via those wonderful steps!When backpacks were still allowed in the cathedral.
I've just been viewing @Theatregal 's photo of her arrival in front of the cathedral in Santiago on another thread. It captures that exhilarating feeling. It would be interesting to see yours.
Here's one of mine from 2014, with my son. Very special. And thankyou to the unknown pilgrim who obliged.

Did you come on the donkey? Pedestians need to prove 100 last km walked, cyclists 200 km. People who ride on donkeys have to provide proof of how many km ridden?

Yesterday I turned 53 and at dinner my kids asked what gratitude I have for the past year and what wishes I have for the next year. My gratitude was for seeing them all rally round and support our youngest who has been battling anorexia these past eighteen months. My wish slipped out of my mouth without any premeditation or planning - for our youngest to become well enough for me to leave her for a camino this time next year.Lovely to see the Kiwi-Family!
End of August I walked from Mondoñedo to Santiago with one daughter and son-in-law, my seven grandchildren (10 to 22) plus one boyfriend. It was their present for my 80 birthday two years ago which had been cancelled during the first lockdown. I would post my photo if I knew how to do it....
I guess the differences between us is that you have Fords where mine were all Fiats
So with you on this one @Kathielassosthemoon!This was the most challenging and best experience of my life! I also realize my Camino didn’t end in Compostel—rather it was a beginning!

2016. We neglected to take photos of us in front of the cathedral but we did get another pilgrim to take one of us at the sign on the outskirts of Santiago. And my husband took this one of me in the streets on the way to the cathedral. It was a cold, rainy day and I think it captured both my elation and exhaustionI've just been viewing @Theatregal 's photo of her arrival in front of the cathedral in Santiago on another thread.

It all shows!Reached in Santiago on June 5th 2022, from SJPP , my first Camino Walk,
solo , senior, at age 72 , in 34 days of walking , every inch of the path,
on tired and blistered feet on the Camino ( CF)
PLUS 6 days of rest and sight seeing days in Pamplona, Logrono, Burgos , Leon , Sahagun , and Sarria, after slugging about 1000 kms .
It was very hard , difficult , exhausting at times, get caught twice in heat wave, but then
nothing but beautiful, pleasant memories .
Wishing every Pilgrim to get to their destination in good health.
Long live the Camino ,
Cheers and love/ Buen Camino to all .
.
That's a nice example of how depth-of-field adds more emotional power to an image.Unbeknownst to us, another pilgrim took this shot of us, weeping upon arrival in front of the cathedral. June 10, 2022.

Earlier today! Camino San Salvador/Primitivo, now the Salvador can be added to the distance cert so it said 432km. My Camino family were waiting for our arrival as they arrived 2 days ahead.
A complicated rucksack system where weight in the backpack is counterbalanced by weight carried in large pockets worn on the chest. This review explains the idea.What are Aarn packs?
