Day 26 – Picture of Jeff and I. He is the host from Florida who moved to Spain and opened his home to pilgrims because he was so moved by his own walk in 2022. If you ever do this, stay at his home: La LLave Rural in Villafranca del Bierzo

- Day 36 – I am home – Date May 20, 2025
- Day 34 – underneath the alter in the cathedral are the bones of St. James the Apostle. There are many routes across Spain for the Camino but I did the French route. It is also called the Way of St. James. It is the most popular route. I wanted to do this one because of it’s connection Jesus’ apostle James.
- Day 34 – Me in the plaza with my certificate and my smile! I am proud of my accomplishment. Thank you for all your support!
- Day 34 – One of my certificates. After I got this, I bought a cheesy T-shirt for St. Jean Pied de Port which is the city in France where I started. It shows the distance on the front (779.5 km) and lists all the villages I walked thru to get to Santiago. I will wear it proudly!
- Day 34 – after mass I went to the plaza where a lot of pilgrims gather after reaching Santiago. From here I went to the pilgrim office to get my certificate of completion.
That is awesome!
