Give me my scallop shell of quiet;
My staff of faith to walk upon;
My scrip of joy, immortal diet;
My bottle of salvation;
My gown of glory, hope’s true gauge
And then I’ll take my pilgrimage.
Sir Walter Raleigh
On May 18th I leave to walk El Camino de Santiago – The Way of St James. It is one of the oldest Christian pilgrimages with its destination 
The Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela – the final resting place of St. James. It will take me 4 weeks to walk over 300 miles to get there. I will be making the journey with some amazing people and meeting others from all over the world that are doing the same thing at the same time. I look forward to sharing the journey with you.
