santi otra vez - sin palabras

bien, unas palabras:

arriving into santiago is special every time. once you hear the bagpipes, you know you are close. down the stairs to the plaza in front of the cathedral, a lot of people there who have either just arrived or have been here for a few hours.

rucksack off the back and first thing - have a lie-down and look up the facade. keep up the facade or not, the emotions run high, a few tears down my cheeks.

i think i spent about three hours on the plaza or nearby (i had to eat something).

i will return once more to the cathedral and hopefully have time for a rest day upon return from the coast. the next otra vez i plan a proper visit to the cathedral, roof tour and all. haven’t been on one yet. i’ll report.

off to the coast from tomorrow.
