(All the way to) Santiago
Not the same Santiago as I walked to. If I could walk on water I'd still be going!
Jerusalem Tomorrow ?
A rather insipid version of Emmylou Harris' performance of David Olney's song but since hers isn't available on youtube I'm posting this one. Listen to Emmylou's when you get the chance. It's on her album Cowgirl's Prayer.

To Infinity ... and beyond!
Well, Finisterre (or Fisterra as they say in Galicia), The End of the World, actually. And by bus rather than walking. Ruth and I took the easy way yesterday and after three and a half hours from Santiago finally reached the town. Rain was torrential so we decided that the final 3km walk to the most westerly point to collect our shell was not on, and settled for a lunch of pulpo and navajas with a drop of red wine washed down with orujo to complete the job. Then another two and a half hours back to Santiago and shopping for souvenirs before a few montaditos in a nice bar and then settling down for the evening.
Dedications
I dedicate this walk from Granada to Santiago de Compostela to the following people.
Firstly, my Mum and Dad, who didn´t know what they had started when they named me Peregrine nearly 63 years ago.
Secondly, my partner, Ruth, who, after a tough last 12 months, has provided me with all the love and support I needed to carry this through to the end.
Thirdly, all my family, friends and colleagues who have generously donated to Cancer Research UK and in so doing have given me the encouragement I needed to fulfill the promise I made that I would reach my goal.
And last, but not least, all those who suffer from cancer. I hope that the money donated to this walk will make some difference to their future recovery and quality of life.
