Sunset at Point Zero

Everyone has seen a sunset, but it was something special to witness what the group did last night. The beach that we went to was in between two hills with one of them being very large. Dick Hill told us that on top of the taller hill was the final point on this trek and it is where all the pilgrims in the past went to to pay homage to Saint James and everything else. We went to the grocery store and bought some snacks to eat up at the top and began climbing! The hike was incredibly steep in a couple points, steep enough to put your hands on the ground while climbing up. But once we all got to the top, a special feeling came through me. You could see forever as the top of this hill was higher than anything around. Fisterre is on the north end of a large bay on the Atlantic and the hill where we were was the northern most point of the bay. Seeing far inland, up the coast of Spain to the north and also out to the horizon of the Atlantic set up for an incredible moment. The home was very difficult but the sights made it all worthwhile. The wind was ferocious which made it very cold, but being able to hold Sarah and watch the sunset created a memory that will be hard to forget. We talked about many things that made me appreciate our relationship even more than I already do. Kyle Preston said "This is Our Lives" and it really made everyone think about where we were and how many other people get to witness what we were viewing. Great night!!!
