Saint Francis Xavier

A Jesuit AND a Pilgrim on the Camino? As seen in the Museo do Pobo Galego. See he's walking stick and the Shells on his tunic.

I get the point but beg to differ

Let's turn off our cellphones in Church but to say God never calls you on the phone...I think its a bit much.

At the Old Market

This is so remarkable. This should be called the old supermarket, you can get everything in one place, fresh and locally produced!

What are your reasons to do the Camino?

At this point ill begin to write about what the Camino has meant to me and what I feel it means to modern Pilgrims.

Attached to this post are images of posters. The posters are for the Holy year 2010 (Xacobeo 2010). Holy years are those during which St James' birthday falls on a Sunday. The next Xacobeo will be in 2021. "¿Cuales son tus razones?" "We all have a reason to celebrate something that won't happen again in 11 years"
1st "Because everything turned out well"
2nd "Because there aren't adventures like this one left"

What were my reasons?
