I will be entering the city of Santiago tomorrow and visited the cathedral of St james and there will be a pilgrim mass at noon.  I met many interesting people along the way from all over the world.  Today it was scary as my boot gave up - it went kaput after 96 km.  But I did pack another pair so I am lucky.  On the trail luckiy I have a lanyard and used it to tie my sole back to the boot.  By the time I reached the end of todayçs walk, there were only 1 inche left for the sole to completely split off the shoe.  Along the way I saw many shoes broken and left on the milestone.  It is a great experience. Adios...

Entered Santiago de Compostela today.  Santiago in Spanish means St James.  It is said that his relics is buried in the cathedral.  Visited the crypt where his body was buried and hugged the saint.  Said a prayer and attended the pilgrim´s mass.  I took Warp´s ashes with me and spread them along the way where the milestones were.  Great to make a trip with no. 1 son. It has been raining all day and lots of pilgrims from everywhere.  Got my certificate of pilgrimage as well.   Now can relax for a couple of days before going to Finnisterre. God bless.

Yes I have taken many pictures but I will enter them when I return.  I have been in Madrid for 2 days now.  I must say I am very impressed with Madrid - Spain is full of history and was a powerful country in the 17 18 century.  The city is full of beautiful architecture and the museums are fabulous.  I have learned a lot about Spain and certainly to revisit it again someday when my Spanish is better.  The things are cheap here by Canadian standarnd and I also saw quite a few demonstrations as the economy of Spain is going for the worse. Be back on the weekend.
