Santiago

Raining today.  Glad we walked into Santiago yesterday.  Janet purchased a amall umbrella at hotel gift shop for 2 euros.

Our hotel is across the square from the cathedral.  We had breakfast at hotel:

The fruit 

Yogurts and jams

Breads, meats and cheese

Good, but the Parador San Marco de Leon is still the grandest breakfast on the camino.

We went to the cathedral at 10:45 and secured our seats for the noon pilgrims mass.  The cathedral seats 1,000 (more or less), packed by 11:10. 

The swinging of the Botafumeiro at Mass
