Day 34 – my tears; I know I don’t look happy but I am. It was very emotional for me.

Day 34 – this was about 9:30 Sunday morning and I had already been walking 3 hours. I am now about 2 miles from Santiago and there was a clearing and a hill. I got off the path to see if I could see Santiago. These towers are the iconic sign of the old part of the city. When I saw this I started crying. I cried for the next 30 minutes as I walking into Santiago.
