These are photos from the last day of the Camino, as well as from Easter Sunday in Santiago. It was a wonderfully relaxed conclusion (if you can call it that). I arrived in Santiago on what would have been my grandmother's hundredth birthday, so to my sentimental perspective, it was even more special than it would have been otherwise. The feeling of walking down the hill and seeing the edges of Santiago made me more excited than anything has in a while, and I'm a fairly excitable person. I felt an overwhelming combination of accomplishment and contentment.
Santiago itself was very cool, though I think I was content to have only spent two days there. It's a small city, but there was enough to do. I ended up making some friends and going to a jazz concert, which was extremely impressive. The drummer, who was my favorite musician in the group, was licking his drumset and throwing around metal mixing bowls and wind-up toys. It was swell.
