At the end of 1980 the US Postal Service issued an commemorative stamp in honor of Blanche Stuart Scott. |
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.

I feel the same way. I like to post about people and historical events that are not well known today. :)
