Arrival at Cathedral, Santiago. Barbaro kindly offered to take this photo for us. I am looking a little perturbed, but I was trying to instruct Barbaro as to how the camera functioned. Barbaro treated us with great respect, perhaps because he never thought that the three "old blokes" would have been able to reach our common goal ahead of him. The moment was special in that we all shared, for that briefest of moments, the knowledge that together we had experienced and achieved something that no words or pictures adequately describe. Coincidentally, we are standing in the same formation as the very first photo taken on the day we began the Camino.
