Day five - last 22km leg of El Camino de Santiago

It's All About the Journey
Sometimes you get to the end... and the cathedral is covered in scaffolding.
Although it was only partially covered our initial observation was a covered cathedral Spire. A friendly reminder that the focus is the journey and not the destination.

There is a sad anti-climatic feeling ending this amazing path among hustling cars, traffic lights, business suits and cell phone conversations. As the zen masters say: it's easy to maintain zen on the mountainside alone: the difficult part is to maintain it always. So I make a promise to myself: take the feeling and cultivate it everyday.

I'm immensely grateful to have the physical ability and mental fortitude to have completed this incredible 70 mile adventure. Thank you pilgrims that inspired us and shared the path today. Thank you pilgrims that trod before leaving footprints and prayers to follow. For the pilgrims that come tomorrow I give my hopes and dreams to guide your way.

Buen camino - enjoy the path now as the end may not be as expected.
