Just outside Santiago!  We stopped in Monte de Gozo, 5 k's out of Santiago.  Staying in an Alburgue equipped to house 400 pilgrims, but I think there are about 100 of us.  We saw the statue of the pilgrims overlooking Santiago. We stood there and watched the sun begin to set over Santiago. So very beautiful.  Karen and I wanted to attend 7:30 Mass and we are so happy we did.  Tiny little church filled with about 18 pilgrims. During the kiss of peace, Father walked out and shook each of our hands.  After Mass the peregrines gathered around the altar.  He went around and asked where we were each from and a little about our Camino.  He told us he was from Angola, Africa.  He then gave us a blessing and THEN pulled out his guitar and sang a song. WOW.  These are the special times on the Camino!  I forgot to tell you that yesterday we bought our Croissants and Cafe con Leche at a Bakery.  The proprietor then bought a plate of delicious pastries for each of our three tables and told us they were on the house!!!
Tomorrow morning we walk into Santiago, drop our bags at our hostel and go to the pilgrim office to stand in line for two hours for our hard earned Compostela!!  Tomorrow night at 7:30 there is Mass and the swinging of the Boto Fumera(sp?), a giant urn with incense. We hope to see many pilgrims we know!  Buen Camino!!!
