A good grade in pilgrimage is both normal to want and possible to achieve.

As planned, this was a short day. The final 15km to Santiago de Compostela are unremarkable except that you can feel the excitement of the other pilgrims.

I only spent a little time in Obradoiro Square before I was occupied with other concerns: getting breakfast, charging my phone, getting out of the encroaching rain, checking into my hostel, submitting my Credential.

I'm not a spiritual person but the past twelve days have been challenging and beautiful and intense. I've tried to reflect on how I connect with people, how I meet challenges and how I use my gifts. None of that has solidified into any great revelations; just a collection of moments.

I'm going to get a real hotel room for the rest of the trip though, as a treat.
