Yesterday was picture perfect for us. We got up to a wonderful sunrise and found a hostel to stay in for the next two nights. We headed for a small deserted beach that we had all to ourselves. No one showed up until we were leaving. We walked the beach picking up shells and getting sun. We have farmer tans from the Camino; red necks and arms!
That evening we walked to the lighthouse at the end of the point and had a wonderful dinner in the converted observatory, thanks to our friends Martijn and Anita. It was a very welcome change from our menu del peregrino! Then we sat around to watch the sunset. We saw many friends from the trip there and several were carrying on the tradition of burning something to show the finality of the trip. One boy cut his long hair and burned that!
We walked down the deserted road with the moon rising to our backs. The entire trip we had not stayed awake long enough to see a sunset. This was the first time.
Today has turned cloudy and rainy. Not much to do in a beach town on that kind of day, but it is OK with us. We needed the rest and wanted to find some friends before we leave for Santiago tomorrow.

You have had an amazing journey so far. You are so fortunate to have this opportunity to share such a fantastic experience with each other. Moments like this change who you are, what you think and what you feel, and such transformation will have a positive impact on you individually and on your relationship as father and daughter. That is pretty cool. I am leaving on Saturday for the Honduras Mission. I may have never known about this opportunity to serve God without both of you. You were my inspiration when I decided to become involved. I am truly looking forward to the trip. Thank you for setting such a good example of Christian service and godly living. I look forward to seeing you soon. Take Care.
