Day #19: Santiago. We made it!


I am holding up our Compostelas in front of the cathedral of St. James in Santiago de Compostella. 

At the noon pilgrims mass today they did perform the incense ritual from medieval times. I video taped it but the blog doesn't allow me to load it. :(
The choir was singing throughout the mass and it was pretty amazing. If you want me to send you the video just email me and I'll send it to you. 

The cathedral is going through major renovation of one tower. 



We just checked into a nice hotel near the center of town. It was a great day!  We were very happy to get here safely and accomplish our goal of completing the 300 mile pilgrimage; even if it took two trips to Spain.  The pilgrim's mass was truly a spiritual experience that welcomed us into the city.
