Welcome and Buon Camino!
In less than a week we will be walking the final 100km of the Camino de Santiago!
As we walk, we will discuss the history, art, and literature of this medieval pilgrimage route. And, we will be practicing writing about our experiences with traveling by foot, about our encounters with the past, with the landscape, and with the strangers we meet along the way. This blog is our place for documenting these sites and experiences in word and image.
The way will not be easy, but as the thousands of pilgrimages, explorers, and wanderers who have followed this path before know, it will be meaningful. To be a pilgrim is to be open: open to the path itself with its many twists and turns; open to how external journeys might shape internal ones; open to learning unexpected lessons; and open to encountering both the stranger and the self along the way.
Buon Camino!
