I begin with today's writing prompt...
If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go?
Since its anywhere in the WORLD I won't say Alaska, but I REALLY want to go to Alaska!
For this question I will pick Pamplona, Spain which will begin a pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela. This journey is called El Camino de Santiago or The Way of St James made it onto my bucket list a few years after watching a movie called "The Way." It follows the journey of a father along the path. There are many differnt paths to take, but all end up at the Shrine of St James the Great. All travelers wear a seashell signifying all the roads coming together.
I was taken in by the idea of it not as a religious pilgrimage, but by the journey itself. The experiences and the people encountered along the way would make it worth the trip. This post would take forever to tell all about it, but if you're interested at all you can read about it in Wikipedia. Here's a link: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camino_de_Santiago.
It's an item on that bucket list that will obviously not make its way into reality, but I really think it would be awesome. Also, it would probably take me the rest of my life using this old broken down body.
I do however have a souvenir sea shell. My daughter Tracy visited Spain and brought it home to me. It's on my backpack. I guesz I can pretend I actually did it ;)
