Camino de Santiago

Monday May 4, 2009
Day 27: San Carlos to Santiago ( Walk - 5km)
Short stroll in the morning to the Cathedral in Santiago and it was all over. Got my certificate of completion and went to the Pilgrims mass at lunch. Santiago de Compostela is a beautiful old city with lots of small streets meandering in all directions. The Cathedral was hard to find as it is not built on high ground, like in other cities. I kept getting lost as the Cathedral spires are not at all prominent. It added to a strange feeling of sadness, loss and dislocation that has come over me this afternoon. Feel that something is missing.
