| Arriving in Santiago, Spain was the conclusion
of my pilgrimage that began in St Jean Pied de Port on 9 January 2002 and
ended on 6 February 2002. I had decided that while I was on the
Camino that I would not drink any alcohol until I arrived into Santiago.
I kept with this, the only exception being having about a glass of wine
with 12 other pilgrims on one of our most fun nights in Mansilla de las Mulas! So as you might expect we had a great evening. Darryl,
Caley, Jean-François and I all arrived together in the afternoon just as the
Pilgrim's Office was opening. For the first 10 pilgrims that arrive
each day a local parador honors them by feeding them with three meals a
day for three days! What a great deal.
After eating we made our way on the town to begin to get silly! After stopping in a few places we eventually settled on this bar called The Rock. It was really fun there, and we got totally smashed: |
