4.5 kms...to Santiago..




Today we woke up and spent about 5 hours at the hospital. Everyone is ok...but Mary can´t walk. We took a taxi from the Pilgrim Village...got her X-Rays and she got a shot in her hip. The doctor said it was cause of too much walking...hummm...that is a genius explanation!! HAHAH!! Reality is, is that everyone there was really nice and helpful!

We got her to the Albergue and our friend Lorenzo went to the Pharmacy to get her perscription. The doctor said nothing is broken, no fractures, and it´s just swollen tendons. She said, the doctor, that she just needs to rest and will be ok in 2-3 days.

I took a taxi back to the village and completed the walk with some friends into Santiago while Mary rested to get better. In reality we all feel that we reached it last night after the horrible day-night of walking!

BUT....we are here..in Santiago!! YEAHH!!

TOmorrow we will see how Mary is doing...she will either come home with me in a few days...or if she starts feeling better like the doctor says she will stay and continue her journey.
