We made the transition rather quickly: After mass ended, we got lunch and went to El Corte Inglés.
After much shopping (Wondering what we bought? Spoilers... :) ), we decamped back to our hotel and relaxed until about 10pm, when the 13 of El Catorce, 4 of the extended Williams clan, and Luuk gathered downstairs. Suddenly the door opened, and in walked C.C., Peanut, and.... the birthday girl!!! We sang and then headed to the Valor chocolate for Oreo milkshakes (more milk than shake) and candles and general festivities.
But the party wasn't over yet. Close to midnight, noise boomed from the central plaza -- underscoring for a lightshow on the cathedral. We watched the ancient walls and turrets spin, burn, crack, crumble, and open to reveal clockwork. We followed the man who discovered St. James's bones on a tour of three great world pilgrimages. There was also a techno party with dancing fish off the coast of Finesterre.
And there you have it: The whole city celebrating the fact that Ariana completed the Camino before the age of 12!!!
