Have you ever done a pilgrimage?

[Rumpelstil]

In Europe it has become fashionable to walk the Saint James way to the north of Spain. To Santiago de Compostella.

If you have read Chaucer

the canterbury tales

then you know what a pilgrimage is

 

[Rumpelstil]

Another famous pilgrimage is the pilgrimage to Lourdes.

I have never been there.

But I have been to moncalieri in north Italy.

Because of Saint Bernard of Baden.
He is the Patron Saint of the former Grand Duchy of Baden, my home country.


Well known in Moncalieri as San Bernardo.

and i have walked a small part of the Jakobsweg - the Saint James Way.

When I was young I would walk to the mall.

 

[Rumpelstil]

I just remember that i have been to Rome and also to the Vatican city

but not as a pilgrimage

 

[The Stars Tremble]

tell us more about it ….

Crocs can barely move on dry land. You have to be careful near water because they can lunge out of it, but one thing you really don't want is to be IN the water when one comes at you.

I stayed in a town. The floods subsided enough that I could get back over the same river in an SUV (with snorkel).

Totally negative learning experience. You could learn a thousand things NOT to do, but there would still be a thousand more.

And now I will walk some distance to a fine restaurant here in France to have lunch.

Also some kind of a pilgrimage!

Since I live in a state where cannabis is still illegal, I made two pilgrimages. A couple of years ago I went to california and visited my first ever cannabis dispensary. I liked it so much, I did it again a couple of years later. It was blissful. I HIGHLY recommend it to others.

I know someone who walked some of the Camino de Santiago. He started in Astorga and walked the last 280km.

A fabulous human

Even leaving to use the toilet, is a pilgrimage. If you're dressed as a Pilgrim.

Of course I'm a Muslim. Why else would I go there for pilgrimage?
