At the end of the world
08/30/2010
Last week we were finally able to meet our friends, to finish the remaining miles of the pilgrimage together. Nine of us arrived in bright sunshine in front of the cathedral in Santiago. Geovana and Paco Bazan of Mexico were there with her daughter Giovis for the first time, and they were so proud of their pilgrim certificate, and that they were allowed to enter the cathedral through the sacred portal, which is only open to pilgrims in a Holy Year. The portal will soon be walled up for the next eleven years. Yesterday, we had our trip to Cape Finisterre, the end of the then known world. It was so warm, peaceful and sunny, that one could hardly imagine that we were standing at the "Costa del Muerte", the biggest ship graveyard in the world, where als St. Jakob stranded ... Unfortunately, this morning all our ways separated - but only briefly; this business will bring us together again and again. Next to come is a convention in Madrid. Then we will go home. See you! Hasta luego!
