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.

How many of that original crew line up are still alive?
Only three: Captain Kirk (William Shatner); Chief Communications Officer, Lt. Uhura (Nichelle Nichols); and helmsman, Lt. Sulu (George Takei).
Gosh. Did you know that are did you have to look it up?
I knew Shanter, Nichols and Takei were alive but had to check on the others.
Shanter does Priceline.com TV commericals:

You can't have your 'I'm a Star Trekkie' badge quite yet then :)
Ah, the future after Star Trek.
Walter Koenig (Chekov) is still alive too!
[Hi--we haven't met--I'm just a fan of Star Trek (and many other things) leapfrogging around Blogger.)
P.S. Oh, yes---and I walked to Santiago too (twice, actually---in 2001 and 2011). Ultreia!
Hi, Fresca, I did not know Walter Koenig was alive. I guess I haven't earned my Star Trek badge. ;)
Congratulations on walking the Camino twice. I was there in 2001, too, and I envy you since I dream of going back.
