We have just come back from registering our Camino and have our official compost Las
We took a quick visit to the cathedral and if you are familiar with it you will know that they have this enormous thrilled that hangs from the ceiling and that they swing during mass. Here is a quick shot of it.
We saw Mariano and Anna as we lined up for our certificates so they finished also. They said they would see us at the Mass for Peregrinos at noon tomorrow.

Congratulations Dermot and John. Very well done. Now, to even out your tan you just have to do it in the other direction! 😉 Enjoy the celebrations, the relaxation and not having to set the alarm.

A hearty congratulations, mi amigo! Your fitness levels put me to shame, and perhaps just might inspire me a bit – that’s a good thing. Now it seems to me that the most significant aspect of finally having arrived is that you can eat with the rest of Spanish society at a time when the restaurants are actually open, plus you can partake in a couple of bottles of Spanish wine. No more energy balls. The chicken is open! Enjoy.

BRAVO!!! You can be so proud of such an amazing achievement and on schedule – terrific! as I know that was important to you both, though there were many times I wished you would take it more easy on yourselves but I know also it’s not your thing – for either of you. You have had us full of admiration, in awe of your endurance, entertained by your great blog, captivated by the wonderful photos, inspired by your optimism and good humour even during the many hardships, so proud and happy to be able to play the small part in your endeavor of cheering you on from [as Donal said] the comfort of our armchairs. Enjoy your well earned few days left to rest, eat and sleep and I’ll be looking forward to seeing you on Tues with a hearty casserole in the oven, a frame for that magnificent Camino certificate and a hat for u my dear!!

In case the monks didn’t wise ye up, that certificate entitles you not only to the “spiritual wealth” the pilgrimage brings but also its “material benefits”. Be sure to cash in before ye check out! Y felicitaciones caballeros.
