Santiago de Compostela
This will be quick as I don´t have much time. We arrived in Santiago on Saurday morning and attended the noon mass for Pilgrims which was a very moving moment for all of us. We have some video that we will upload later.
Here is a picture of us meeting with our friends Carl and Manuela one last time before leaving Santiago.
This is the Cathedral of Santiago - magnificent.
We met our friend, Brendan, at the cathedral yesterday morning. He is a remarkable young man. He left us this morning to continue on to Fatima.
This is a photo taken from one of our hotel rooms for our last night in Spain. Our rooms are much nicer than we expected and right in the center of the old city near the cathedral.
We think this is the beginning of the transition from pilgrimage to vacation - Colleen and Chuck each had three delicious scoops of ice cream. The others controlled themselves.
Some local color - JoAnn receiving a rose from a mime.
See you when we get back home. God´s blessings to everyone and thank you for all the prayers.

Colleen,
Just wonder if you're planning to walk at lunch this month . . . or may I schedule noon meetings as needed?
You all look well rested in these latest photos - vacation, finally!!
Safe travel home. Can't wait to see everyone.

hi Guys:
I don't know if you'll check this one more time. I will check your flight online, then add an hour or slightly more to it. That's what time I'll be outside o'hare to pick you up. I'll bring your van and be close to door "D". If you need to call me: home 847-635-0795. I think you kept one cell phone. Amy Prin.
Safe travel home pilgrims!!! Thanks for your prayers. I think you all are THE BEST FRIENDS a person could have. God Bless, Laura and Family

Welcome home victorious Pilgrims, beloved children of God.

Congrats on your accomplishment and welcome back to the States! I'd wanted to tell you the photo you posted on Day 4, crossing the Pyrenees, looked like the final scene in The Sound of Music, as the von Trapps fled Austria - EXCEPT, you were all self supporting and no one was lugging another on their back! Ha! Denise
You did it! and even more amazingly...we were at Mass with you! We arrived late Friday afternoon, got our compostellas, and went to bed right after dinner. Made it into downtown again in the morning...saw the mime...and believe I may have seen you all there too! So happy for you all, Safe trip home, Karin
(I'm at work already....total culture shock!)
Welcome back.. you are all AMAZING. Congrats on making the Pilgrimage. Thank you for the prayers. See you soon
God Bless
