Well here we are in Santiago at last.....hard to believe that we have actually walked about 800 kms....it feels very good to be finished with carrying the backpack all day.....we have our official compostela (certificate) with our first names in Latin......we have been on the road for 41 days and haven´t had a single day of rain....how lucky is that!

And it is Thanksgiving today, how appropriate. We will miss you at TD dinner but will toast your great accomplishment. 41 days without rain is your own private miracle.
All I can say right now is .WOW!.What a great accomplishment.As Jeanie said we will toast you at Thanksgiving dinner with the others..only 10 this year as opposed to 19 last year.Look foreward to your safe return in a few weeks..Cheers, Jim
Congratulations! What an amazing accomplishment - we are looking forward to pictures and stories - enjoy the beach - see you soon.
congrats! very proud!
nice weather for a hike !! Way to go Pilgrims!!!
Dear Derek and Gayle,
What a fantastic day for you both. We picture you with your feet up eating and drinking who knows what but celebrating big time. We were all talking about you around Jean and Jim's Thanksgiving table today and had a very rowdy toast to you both. Can't wait to see you and get a full account from you in person. Enjoy a well-earned rest and pamper your feet.Much love Joanie and Rob
WOW, fantastic "feet", well done Derek and Gayle, now you can relax and enjoy the last few days of your trip. I am sure you will be sleep walking for a while until you get back to base. All good here in Oz, looking foward to catching up with you both. Cheers for now, Miles and Merlene
