Things have changed the last few days since the 100k group joined in Sarria. Pizza & burgers, souvenir stands, most people don't have backpacks or little ones. We don't spend time alone anymore. But we have 8.1 miles in, only 4.3 to Santiago at 10:00 am.

| Breakfast with 4.3 miles from Santiago |
Garry: Pepsi got kicked out of Spain.
Waiting in line at Pilgrims office to get Compostella.
Well we are in Santiago, get Compostella, find hotel then the Correos to get our stuff. Mass tomorrow.
Joyce: Got caught in small rain storm on final walk here. by cathedral Irish couple leaving mass. Meeting with them at 7:00 for supper. Also hugged young Danish couple when got here. I'd like a picture of them too.

| They got here a lot faster than we did. |
 |
| Getting closer |
 |
| Dad is next pilgrim to get a certificate |
 |
| The official office |

Joyce: We did it! Yes!! Resting at the hotel. 225 miles across Spain.
Garry: 255 miles Joyce.
Chrystal: She didn't remember those 30.

| Heavy Celtic heritage in Galicia |
 |
| This is in front and connected to our room in Santiago |
 |
| This makes the walk all worthwhile. Already had 2 scoops chocolate & strawberry sugar cone. |
Garry: Found the Correos office and collected our mail. Nothing left but Mass, tour and shop. Didn't find a barber shop. Took a while to find hotel. Waas a lot easier in towns with populations of 42.
Aimee: Why does mom's certificate read Tudocum M. Price? Or Judocum? A Spanish version of Joyce?
Garry: The religious compedtella is in Latin. Other in Spanish. Judocum.
Aimee: Yours said Garry.
Garry: Different worker or its Latin for "Garry"
