So we did it ! Now I processed all a bit and got a good night of sleep I can actually reflect on all a bit better . This journey for sure met all of my expectations and beyond . Reasons I did this were : spending time away from the usual daily routine . Spending time with my son Tom . The physical challenge (it's HARD!!!) and Being in Europe . All goals were met :) it is just a very strange existence for 1 month ! All you need to do is walk, talk, eat and drink , stay healthy (sleep enough) and enjoy the ride ! This whole experience would not have been the same if Tommy wouldn't have come along ! What a treat for a parent!!! Words cannot express how special this was for me :) xo . Also it was great that Rick
and Carrie were part of this by sharing our last week with us , thanks !!! Some details : not ONE blister !!! Yay ! Knees hung in (with a preventative knee brace ) 1 toe is bruised from the many steep downhills ! But aside from that all went great due to great gear and all the prep I did ! Now for all of you that are thinking " cool I would love doing somthing like that " .... DO IT !!!! Just do it . And that is my final thought :)
My Compostela :)
Pilgrims mass with the huge botafumeira 
Yay .... My Compostela for completing the Camino !
Rick and James ( a neighbor from Fl who biked the Camino this week !
Congratulations! We are very happy for you and Tom and proud to know you. What a great trip!
