Becoming a Pilgrim

My wife and I are walking the Way of St. James. The Camino de Santiago is an ancient pilgrimage with many routes ending in Santiago de Compostela, Spain. We are taking the popular 'French Way' which starts at Saint Jean Pied de Port, France and winds its 500 miles through northern Spain. The itinerary breaks down to about 15 miles a day in 6 weeks with a few days off for rest.
The many Camino Routes. Ours is highlighted in red.
