He's been carried by me more than 100kms but he didn't walk himself, so I guess no ;-) Didn't collect stamps either, not even for me, just forgot about it But doesn't matter. He's doing better, and we found a walking routine together. He's a good boy, sometimes thinking he's more of a dog than a cat!

What an adventure. Still have to process it all.

Congratulations on arriving. You've not had the easiest of journeys, but you certainly had plenty of experiences. This is a trip that will stay with you. I wish you well on your forward journey through life.

Wow, well done!!!!
After more mishaps than all your other caminos put together, from the sound of it.
Congratulations, @good_old_shoes. May the savoring of success be sweet - and may the kitten find a good home!

Congratulations on completing your pilgrimage. And what a pilgrimage! You've perserved through shoe failures, pain, illness, everything, to reach your goal -- and rescued a little kitty along the way . Never mind the Compostela. I'm sure St. James is smiling down on you. St. Francis certainly is.

Wonderful, and what about your new old shoes? Did they last the distance? Congrats, and safe home.

Enhorabuena, @good_old_shoes ! I have thoroughly enjoyed your posts, and found myself praying for you as I read each one. Yours is a pilgrim story for the ages! Thank you for walking, for persevering, and for so honestly sharing with us your joys and your struggles. I hope you are getting the rest you deserve, and that your heart is peaceful - and ditto to your new BFF!
