The end of the earth

At the end of the pilgrimage, a proper pilgrim then goes to Finisterre, the end of the earth in ancient times. This is more of a pagan ritual begun by the Romans. At Finisterre, the pilgrim should leave something. Many leave their boots. Pilgrims have a love/hate relationship with their boots. Others burn clothes. Some bath in the Atlantic. I left a shell from Narragansett Bay.

My offering

There are actually two ends of the earth...the Hollywood one from "The Way" and the actual one. The Hollywood one is much more dramatic. It should be the end of the earth. Pictures are below

My pilgrimage is over. Airport security confiscated my walking sticks and I am heading home. It was indeed a buen Camino.
