It is finished!
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...
Thanks again for coming along. I hope to connect soon! Please consider taking a walk together.

Hooray, you did it! Congratulations to you and your new family members! I am so very proud of you, Tim, and I look forward to doing more walking with you, (well, shorter distances,) in the near future! Relax, enjoy and savor it all...
ReplyDeleteI’ve been struck by how much you like like a very happy version of Dad with the beard. It’s surreal to think how much more life you’ve lived and continue to do every day. Dad, Mom and John are all cheering for you, living and adventuring! Congrats on this big accomplishment 💕
ReplyDeleteCongrats Tim! I enjoyed watching your journey from the balcony. The miles are impressive. Your attitude of gratitude, flexibility and humility are admirable. Mark me down for a walk any time!
ReplyDeleteWhat an accomplishment Tim! Well over 500 miles. As many as almost 25 miles in one day. Over a million steps. Many of them uphill and many downhill and the downhill steps were more difficult than the uphill steps. And, amazingly to me, there was never a morning when you said, "I just can't walk the Camino todayl" With never a grumble you treated your fellow pilgrims as family members. What a blessing to watch you each day!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Tim. Santiago! What a special place. I’ve come to realize, life is a pilgrimage, after my Camino experience. I look forward to hearing more of your experience and what you have learned. Buen Camino. I’m off for my 6:00 am walk! Al
ReplyDeleteTim, congratulations!!! Wow, so many miles, new friends, sore feet, vistas, and a sense of accomplishment that you will carry with you forever. So happy for you!
ReplyDeleteTim, just heard about your adventure… congratulations. We were just in Portugal for 2wks talking about this Camino w/o knowing you were in route. We look forward to the day when you can share the ‘best of’ comments. Super envious… Carpe Diem
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on such an amazing feat! I enjoyed reading your daily adventures and can't wait to hear about it in person! Life changing for sure.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to hear all the stories, Tim. Way to go - what an incredible accomplishment. You are brave and adventurous! - Kelly Sim
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Tim...What a wonderful accomplishment...personally, physically and spiritually...I'm reading through your blog posts and am grateful for letting us accompany you...some, like me, somewhat after the fact...but alongside you as well.
