The Pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela is a centuries old trek across northern Spain done by following "The Camino de Santiago", the road to Santiago. Before February of 2001 I had not heard of "The Camino" nor of the Pilgrimage. By the end of October of that year I was in Santiago after completing the walk myself. I thought that when I reached Santiago my journey was over but I see now that my journey started way before I got to Spain and still has not ended.

The Wild Wild West
(Photos by David Proeber, The (Bloomington) Pantagraph.
The Denver Post caption under the top photo: Suspected robber Robert Sylvester, 57, of Bloomington, ILL, brandishes a gun as he jumps from his vehicle in the middle of an interstate highway during a police chase Monday. Witnesses said he leaped over the concrete barrier and shots were fired. Sylvester died hours later at a hospital in Normal, ILL. Police said Sylvester was suspected of robberies at four banks including one just before the chase.
Well, we have been told we are heading for a 1930's style Depression so why shouldn't we start seeing 1930's style bank robberies and police shoot outs? I am being facetious here but I will admit that I find these photos both compelling and fascinating.
