(Distance: 16kms, Time: 3hours)
Today we walked to the end of the world. After the 40 kms yesterday we were tired but by noon we were standing at the 0.0 kms marker for the Camino. We had debated about taking a bus to Finisterre but it felt really good that we had walked all the way. The day was sunny with a light breeze blowing and we sat in the rocks at the top of the cliffs, enjoyed the view, reflected on our Camino and then got up and walked the 3.5 kms back to town. It is a tradition to burn something in the rocks ... Betsy and I elected not to but Angeliek burned one of her shirts. When we got back to town we met Christian who was just arriving and had a drink together then boarded the bus for the 2 hour ride back to Santiago. It was a funny feeling reaching Santiago ... it felt like we had just negated the last three days & 90 kms of walking.
Betsy & I met Angeliek for dinner & desert and then after delaying it as long as we could we bid Angeliek goodbye. It was very sad to have to leave her but we feel blessed to have had the opportunity to get to know her. She is a fine young lady who will do well no matter what path her life takes. She will be our "adopted Camino daughter" forever and always in our prayers.
