One week left!

We just entered the region of Galicia, where Santiago, the end point of our walking journey, is located. We're almost down to 100 km left to walk... the end is in sight! We climbed to the highest point of the trip (5000 ft). We walked to the Iron Cross near the highest point where pilgrims have for years placed a stone carried from their home-we placed our stones from 922 South Cushman, Tacoma, there with a prayer of laying down burdens and receiving God's freedom and guidance for the future for us, our family, our church and community (see pictures). We descended the mountain, then climbed up again to the village of O'Cebreiro where we attended a pilgrim worship service at the oldest pilgrim church on the Camino (9th century), receiving a blessing for the rest of our journey.

The Galician area is so green. There are vestiges of Celtic culture here in the language, people, music, and green landscape with old stone walls.

Here are a few pictures from our walk these past days.

    These are beautiful pictures, what an amazing journey. I am so blessed by your sharing these pieces of your special time together. May the remainder of your journey fill you with God's grace and bring you home safely, refreshed (if not rested!), and filled with new purpose! Lynn
