Some Photos

I'm at the USO in Ft. Worth, the flight got delayed about an hour to go home ... I just want to be home. I've been up for 23 hours now.

Flight went well, watched several movies. I've eaten more junk food today than I generally do in a 6 month period.

Thanks to everyone who followed and read the blog. It's been a great trip.

Here are some pics from the past few days when I wasn't able to post any:



St. James had a rough day. Haha.

The HUGE incense thing.



4th of July in the square.


That's the beach Noah and I went to.



Last night in Spain, watching Spain beat Germany in the World Cup semi finals. L-R, me, Noah, Alaska, Atlanta, England (I usually call people by where they are from. I learned very few names.).

Rain is a Good Thing ...

Rain makes corn. Rain also makes us walk faster to finish the trip. I can´t believe it only rained 2 days of the trip, one of which was the last day. It was light, so we refused to use our ponchos.

The plan was to leave the last 10 k for tomorrow, but yesterday we accidentally ended up going 27ish KM only leaving about 22 more. So we felt really silly splitting up 22 km into 2 days.

We have a hostel. We were able to get it for 2 nights. We secured 3 beds then walked the rest of the way to the Cathedral. They don´t let you go in the front door. But when we got to the side door there was a huge line (and still rainy). So we are going to go back in the morning and find out the hours and wait while we eat breakfast ... or eat breakfast in line if there already is one.


Here is a monument for when Pope John Paul 2 visited. I just took that today, I didn´t realize Mammy had posted something about it too. I think I have a holy card with his remarks/prayer on it. They were giving them out.

¡¡¡ WE MADE IT!!!

Ian in the hostel



Santiago Matamoros!!!! (Sorry Mammy, I think it's cool.)



And this is the line that we opted out of standing in. We´ll check it out in the morning.
