Several years ago, I read a book called God of Surprises. The author wrote about his experience on the famous pilgrimage route through northern Spain, affectionately known as the Camino. It's official name is the Camino de Santiago de Compostela - The Way of St. James of Compostela. It turns out that the Camino de Santiago has many, many routes, although the most well-known one begins in southern France and ends at the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela in northwestern Spain. I did a bit more reading on the Camino and met several people who had hiked the route. It was a spiritual experience. It was a struggle. It transformed lives. It sounded fascinating to me.
