We made it. We miscalculated, the walk was 25 km, instead of the anticipated 20. We left early, so as to arrive in plenty of time to get good seats at the noon pilgrim Mass at the Cathedral. At the end of Mass, the botafumeiro was lit, and began its pendulum swing across the nave of the church billowing great and glorious clouds of smoke. After that, we milled about, enjoyed a beer in a busy square, and grabbed a bite to eat. We have a day of rest tomorrow (first one in over a month), and then my flight home is Tuesday. I am looking forward to not having to walk tomorrow!
