435/499 … a Departure in my Soul (10/29/08)

A look back upon Beauty-full Santiago as we set out for the coast. The Walk to Finisterre was an additional 50 miles. There were far fewer hostels along the way — primarily because there were far fewer pilgrims making the Journey. This meant longer distance to walk between hostels, and yet we felt ready for the challenge.

“Pick the day. Enjoy it – to the hilt. The day as it comes. People as they come … The past, I think, has helped me appreciate the present, and I don’t want to spoil any of it by fretting about the future.” ~ Audrey Hepburn
