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.
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.
WOW, so proud of you Brandi!! An epic journey of a lifetime. You can take it!! Hugs & high-fives. - David
