16th June Santiago de Compostela

Today we had a rest day.  The first day off from walking for 20 days.  We needed it and it was so good to be here in Santiago.  We took care of business today.  We found the laundromat, we went to the hairdresser which was such a luxury.  Oh....you can't imagine and that energized us to get organized for our final push.  About 125k give or take a bit.

The Camino just blows me away......this evening we decided to walk along a street we haven't used much before and we found and older German lady who we call 'Valter' we haven't found her for at least a month and there she was.  It was so nice to find her after all this time.  She is so inspirational.  She doesn't speak Spanish, she is not young and one tough cookie.  She is on a route I  wouldn't tackle alone.  She reminded me of a very special friend at home and tears flowed once more.....so it is sometimes!!!
