What did we do today?

16 kilometer walk to Santiago. Basically 4 1/2 hours but it was pitch black when we started at 5 am.

Got our Compostellas from the pilgrims office which officially says we completed one of the three Christian pilgrimages. 

Found a room for rent in the center of town and checked in and showered. Then went to explore. 

Walked through the museum, very cool. Went to the cathedral and embraced the statue of saint James and prayed at his burial site (traditional items at the end of the pilgrimage for Catholics). 

They had already started the pilgrims mass but had priests in confessionals all around the cathedral. Io found one who spoke English, Irish priest, and went to confession. It was actually fun since he was very humorous and serious at the same time.

Walked around town taking pictures and visited the park. Then found the pilgrims house and used the complimentary wifi to update the blog.

Tomorrow we have a full day to explore the town. We will catch the bus to the airport at 8:30 and our flight to Madrid takes off at 10:30. 

No use getting a hotel so we are going to hang at the airport for our 7:30 check in for the flight home.
