Today I started off late to take in Burgos a little longer and because by bike it's faster. The bike was so much easier on my body, although I had a few tough hills to go up it then flattened out into the meseta. I stopped a few times to eat some fruit, then lunch but mostly I was solo. I did pass a few Camino friends and ended up riding about 50 kilometers. I'm really liking being on the bike for this part of the Camino. I rode passed Roman ruins, castles and of course many beautiful churches.

I did it! Too much going on for me to write about my last 24 hours. By the way, the sky is decieving in this photo...the only blue sky patch all day. It's been hard rain for three days.  I received my certificate for completing 779 km in 31 days! Carrying my own stuff and never catching a ride. Today I took a bus to Fisterre to complete the journey.

Finisterre

  In the Middle Ages many considered this point to be the "end of the earth" and it's had great significance through the ages. Getting to the lighthouse in Finisterre is considered the unofficial end of the Camino. I wish I could've walked there too but it would've been 4 more days and I don't have that much time left.     It was raining and extremely windy when I arrived by bus. I decided to go ahead and walk the 4 miles instead of taking a taxi because I actually felt strange not walking this morning. I spent some time admiring the breathtaking scenery (even in the rain) and then for a 30 minute window it stopped right as I got to the point. About 5 minutes after I started walking back it started to rain again.
