I don't think the original poster is still around but it was a very interesting topic. RE: Camino de Santiago pilgrimage, I wanted to let people know that there is a beautiful little indie movie about one man's pilgrimage. It's called The Way (2010) starring Martin Sheen as a father who goes to retrieve the remains of his son who died while making the pilgrimage and he decides to complete his son's journey. Wonderful characters and performances as well as a lovely story. Sue
