We started off around 6:30 and were stopped by some Spanish pilgrims who asked if we would take a photo of them in the early morning glow of sunrise by the ocean. It was really a beautiful morning

We had already talked about the emotions of this final day of walking on our big adventure. It has been just amazing. The weather, the people, the places, being with each other, sleeping in different beds, learning new technologies in the various places we stayed.

We experienced the highs and lows physically, mentally, and emotionally. It was spectacular.

And I won’t lie it has been exhausting. I was asked if I would do it again? “No. Well…maybe just differently.”

While walking this last day we both were feeling the physical wear and tear on our bodies. This last day wasn’t easy 28+ kms and over 600 meters/1968 feet elevation gain and the same for going down. The terrain at times was very rocky, other times the tree roots were sticking out of the ground. It meant being very careful with your steps and where you placed your feet. This isn’t new. But at the end the knees, feet, muscles all were ready to be finished and have a rest.

The vistas and views were spectacular. And coming to Muxia by foot was a beautiful conclusion to this amazing journey. I’m sure I will be reflecting in the days to come. We still have a few more travel days.

Thank you for the many encouraging words you have shared with us. We are very blessed to have such a large family!!! Thank you!!!!
