Crazy first day

Lots to say about my first day; however, I am totally beat!  It was a long day with the road heading straight up the mountains until it dropped down an extremely steep path to the town.  I will post more later, but now it is time for a shower, dinner and bed.

Well, at least I finished my first Camino! The rain came and went a bit this morning... ...but it was dry for my final meander into the city!   What a thrill it was to finally enter the plaza and see the goal in front of me - and to be welcomed by several other Camino family members!   More later after some rest, a few toasts and a little processing...
