BSPSE Santiago much cooler with rain mentioned, arrived in evening. First in weeks.

A blog comment on a social observation about our cohort. There have been almost no comments or discussion on the blog or in the blog.

Comments and discussions and even threads have all occurred in email. SMS via Allo have lead to some of the best sharing even though Google Allo is out only week a week or so.

Fab shower here at the hotel as well as fab beds. A nice hotel to return to after another long schlep.

Pilgrim mass at the cathedral. Two each day for obvious reasons. Wonderful sound in the cathedral, long, one hour, mass. QB took a video of the famous swinging fumeiro.

Many other cathedral pics on Flickr.

Tried to get a haircut. Sorry, closing in a while, come back Monday.

After dinner, tapas, we planned to go to an evening bilingual pilgrims mass which read a small sign about at the cathedral. While waiting outside in the rain for the doors to open we meet some Germans waiting with us. They were waiting for the German tour at the same time. Nope.

YUUGE ball of string. Turned out to be a Spanish language vigil and tour with priest, completed with burning of symbolic paper in the cloister, tour and history of the Gloria door (under scaffolding), a speech at a chapel, pilgrim testaments up on the main altar, and a visit to the sepulcher. All with singing, even a bit in Latin which we have never heard.
