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.

Zombieland
This early Spring is kicking my butt and for the last few weeks I have been a physical mess. Tree pollen has caused me to develop allergy induced asthma. The extremes in temperatures (daytime highs fluctuating from 33F to 88F), humidity (anywhere from a high of 90% to a low of 7%), and winds (gusting up to 60 MPH on some days) is causing me to cycle through gushing nose bleeds and mind blowing migraines. On top of all this I have discovered that the medicine I am taking for my asthma is not working on my allergy symptoms like I was hoping it would so I am still walking around in an allergy induced haze. In short I am a half-awake, slow thinking, slow talking, slow walking, resident of Zombieland. Hopefully I will feel well enough to make a run for the border very, very soon.
