Nearly there

Hi all
Well the last couple of days has been pleasant weatherwise - sunny and getting hot. We are shedding our warmer long sleeve clothes now for T-shirts and shorts! We left Ribadasi Wed morning about 9am with a little spit and a spot and then the sun came out! We got to Arco De Pino about 3pm after a leisurely walk. We spoilt ourselves and stayed in a Pension for the night. Woke up this morning to a beautiful sunny hot day! We had a lovely picnic lunch by a little stream and bridge. Stew took more stunning pics and videos. We are now in Monto Del Gozo on the outskirts of Santiago about 4.5km to the Cathedral.
Tomorrow is our final walk into Santiago! We have met lots of different people from all over the world, mostly Dutch, French, Spanish,German and lots of Irish. Mostly Americans on this final stretch from Sarria.
We look forward to the Mass at 12noon tomorrow and to experience that magnificant feeling of achievement.
Cheers for now. Buen Camino.
