Where does the journey end? It never end's says Joao ... at least as long as we're still breathing.
However, there is an end to this part of the journey. There is a place at the ocean, 90 kms from Santiago called Finistere (finis terre, the end of the world). That's where we set to end our journey, at least initially ...
Like any traveller knows, things change and evolve. Decisions are taken, the teritory changes, priorities change. What seemed important when home, becomes irrelevant. What was considered a given, becomes worth fighting for. For each one of us, the time away from our life partners and our children brought us closer to them. Closer to them and the realisation that they are central to our lives, our journeys, our ability to do everything else with energy, balance and purpose.
Once in Santiago, we decided that our finistere should be re-joining our families earlier. Sabin brought Cosmina over, Joao went to Faro to surprize his family. I took the long and strange way to Darmanesti in the Romanian mountains.
Moments of peace and love ...
While still in Santiago, and still completely overwhelmed by the emotions, a song kept ringing in my ears ... Annie Lennox - Into the West
