In June of 2006, 13 members of the University of Michigan community will follow in the footsteps of medieval pilgrims as they hike the Camino de Santiago (Saint James' Way). This site will document their experiences before, during and after the program.

A matter of perspective
The other day we reached a marker that indicated we were 160 kilometers (100 miles) from Santiago. At that point walking our last 160 kilometers seemed like a piece of cake, which is strange because if you were to ask me to walk, much less drive, 100 miles, I would grumble. The truth is I don´t even like walking much, I prefer taking my bike places. But now, after having trekked some 400 miles, suddenly walking another 100 miles more seems like nothing. I guess it is just is a matter of perspective.
