- Previous story 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.

Thanks Beth. I couldn’t have done it without all the support of people back home being interested, following and sending me comments. They carried me when I needed support. I am so amazed by this experience and what I accomplished.
