Well! We just had our final official pre-trip meeting. With many sidebars, jokes, serious discussions, and a tangible air of excitement, it is clear that we are in for a great trip.
A little about the trip: We are going on a pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela in Spain. We will begin the trip (the official part, at least) in Toulouse, France, arriving in Santiago around the 9th day of the trip, and then return by a slightly different route to Toulouse and head home.
The course is called the Anthropology of the Pilgrimage, and we will be taking an in-depth (and certainly hands-on) look at spiritual tourism, medieval and modern pilgrimage practices, as well as other aspects and methods of transcendence.
Countdown to take-off: 17 days!
