Day 39 October 18 Lavacolla to Santiago

About 12 kms today. Walked into the Cathedral square around 10:30. We made it. Thanks be to God. Thanks for all your prayers and well wishes along the way.  I know the prayers helped get me here. Went to the pilgrim mass at noon. It was so packed with pilgrims and tour bus people I had to sit on the floor. 
Inside the Catherdal. 
The church has a giant "botafumeiro" for incense. It takes 5 or so men to swing it. They usually only swing it on Friday but for some reason they swung it today.  What a sight as it swung across the church from side to side.
