Madrid...raining, but who cares!

We will post a final effort and photos from Madrid as there seems to be a few folks going through blog withdrawal out there...stay tuned!

Geoff & Annemarie ,

In the interim...

Finishing

For some the walk is finished in Santiago, others feel the need to carry on to Finisterre

Our journey is complete, we won't be going there

We have been to the pilgrims office and have our Compostellas in hand

Our names are written in Latin, it feels quite grand

We congratulated many who we met along the way

They arrived along with us give or take a day

A group of us went out for a celebratory seafood meal

 One last time to enjoy the community of the Camino we feel

We went to the Cathedral for the pilgrim's mass

Everyone goes...no one gives it a pass

We have left Santiago for a little rest before going home

We are already beginning to talk about where next we will roam

We are both one people who like to finish what we start

And it was particularly important with this pilgrimage that fills the heart

There were times when I doubted that I would achieve this goal

My partner did not doubt a bit, he knew it in his soul

For us this journey is now finished, but not ended

There is a sense of completion, just as intended

We will now take time to reflect on the lessons we have learned

There have been many, and we will continue to learn them long after we have returned
