October 10, 2014 Friday Finnestera, The End of the World, The End of my Camino

I wanted to end my Camino at Finnestera which is the End of the World in the old days.
FINI, NO MORE WALKING FOR 9-11 Hrs. Per day, 19 -21 miles which is what I had to do to reach Muxia & Finnestera. I was able to get the Muxiana & Finnesterana certificates but had to make sure I walked the whole way by getting stamps/cello in certain towns, 2 are required. The last 2 days of walking was the hardest because of the distance. Anyhow, I finally walked the 500 miles ending here in Finnestera. I have to say today has been quite an experience. Young Ae Shin from South Korea & I were walking towards the Lighthouse. A car stopped & the driver motioned for us to come & he said he'll give us a ride to the Lighthouse. Maybe having walked 19-21 miles the last 2 days in the rain, the top of my right foot started to hurt after checking in at the Albergue to get our certificate, so I was a bit limping. At any other time I would NEVER hitch a ride but there was only this one road & Young was with me. His name is Jose & his Mother is 95 years old. He is only 58, Young is 61 & moi, is 70. Anyhow, he took us further up the mountain & what a great view of the whole town of Finnestera & beyond, Muxia. He said he goes there everyday to just relax & smoke his cigarette. He showed us the 2 Rocking Rocks. Unbelievable that I could make this 2 huge rocks move. Here's the video.
