You know, I think I would walk 500 miles. This past Wednesday at my Young Adult's meeting we heard one of the resident Dominican priests talk about his pilgrimage in Spain. The Camino is one of the oldest pilgrim routes in Christian history, and is actually considered to be the definition of a pilgrimage. The pilgrimage takes you on a nearly 500 mile walk across northern Spain. This is the same path that was walked by countless saints, kings, and even the Apostle James. It takes most walkers about 5 weeks to complete the pilgrimage. At first, you might not think this sounds like such a great idea, but I really do think that it could be a really enlightening experience. I am adding it to my list of things to do at some point in my life. And I'm putting a footnote that I want Amber to go along with me to do it. Amber, if you're reading this, you might want to start thinking about a little training... 500 miles is a long way to walk, even if it is over a 5 week period.
