Muxia...the last stop on the Camino. Tom and I walked here Friday, Cindy walked in on Sunday.
Muxia is a small village on a spit of land on the west coast of Spain north of Finesterre. It has the ocean on the west side and a bay and port on the east. We´re in a pension with a view of the bay and the small beach and it couldn´t be a better place to end a long, long walk. Muy tranquilo.
With the walk to Muxia we´ve completed 975 miles on the Camino and that doesn´t count the walking around in towns on days off, or getting lost, or sight-seeing off the trail, so I´m saying 1000 miles. My feet are saying AT LEAST that! My feet are amazing--no blisters, no problems. My boots are worn out and will become planters or some other "objet d´art" upon my return.
Tomorrow we´ll bus to Santiago and catch the plane to be home late Wednesday night. I´m looking forward to being in one place for awhile, and of course can´t wait to see the pets and our human friends.
I´ll post photos once I´m back to familiar technology.
Thanks for sticking with us through the challenges of our journeys. If any of you get the itch to have your own camino experience, let us know and we´ll answer your questions as best we can.
Buen Camino!

The Walk, 2014
In the fall of 2013, Tom walked the Camino de Santiago de Compostela from St. Jean de Pied in southwestern France to Santiago in northwestern Spain. We decided to do it together in 2014, along with our friend Cindy, and starting 500 miles further east in Le Puy, France. This historic pilgrimage route is walked annually by thousands of people...and now we count ourselves among them.
We aren't taking any "technology" with us, so we'll be using public pay-by-the-hour computers with strangely arranged keyboards and (perhaps) slow Internet access. But we'll attempt to post regularly.
Buen camino!
