Summary
It's been a tough few days since Steve found out that he'd miscalculated the miles per day required to finish by this Friday. Emma and Steve have stepped up their mileage to make up for the mistake.
The two travelers have been responding to the kilometer markers by shouting down the reducing distance to Santiago.
One of the lasting memories of this trip will be the convivial meetings between pilgrims, with beers and coffees shared over conversation. Steve and Emma enthusiastically embrace this convention!!
