Day 33 – A Rùa to Santiago

I just cannot get this last day on the Camino’s post done. I sit down to write it and find a dozen things to distract me from having to come to terms with it is really over. I don’t thing that I am ready to stop emotionally; maybe physically 😳though. Here goes.

Our last 1st breakfast on the trail.
What a gift to walk with this amazing young woman.
A reminder….
My first bought of tears. We are so close….my third time of standing next to this statue.
We love the trees.
My last day of following my shadow.
5 km from Santiago.
Our first view of the cathedral. Another tearful moment.
Finally in old town.
The final walk into the cathedral square…
An emotional time
These feet, boots, shoes, and sandals have some miles on them.
Three generations…..
Meeting Camino friends in Santiago.

“To dare is to lose one’s footing momentarily. To not dare is to lose oneself.”

I am a woman of age reinventing myself in my 70’s. I owned a restaurant for 36 years, was a high school CTE instructor in Culinary Arts, and I’m now looking for my next chapter in life. I am restless. I do know that hiking, travel, and sharing my love of food and wine will play a part in my new adventures.

  1. I am so sad that your Camino is over! I have loved following u on this journey, with my lovely niece Willa and her dear, dear friend Eva, your grand daughter. Bless you for having the strength, the spirit, and the determination to walk it again, and for sharing it with us on this blog. You are beautiful!

  3. Oh Candi, the end of this Camino and I have some tears in my eyes for you…happy tears for you being able to share the Camino with Eva and Heather, but also some sad ones because I know how much the Camino means to you and how hard it must be for it to be over. You have had some struggles, but you overcame them. So very proud of you!!! You’re an inspiration to us. ❤️❤️❤️

  4. Job well done! I I’ll continue to say, “What would Candi do?” (WWCD), when I get in a tough spot!
