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?
ReplyDeleteOnly three: Captain Kirk (William Shatner); Chief Communications Officer, Lt. Uhura (Nichelle Nichols); and helmsman, Lt. Sulu (George Takei).
ReplyDeleteGosh. Did you know that are did you have to look it up?
ReplyDeleteI knew Shanter, Nichols and Takei were alive but had to check on the others.

You can't have your 'I'm a Star Trekkie' badge quite yet then :)
ReplyDeleteAh, the future after Star Trek.
Walter Koenig (Chekov) is still alive too!
ReplyDelete[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!
ReplyDeleteHi, Fresca, I did not know Walter Koenig was alive. I guess I haven't earned my Star Trek badge. ;)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on walking the Camino twice. I was there in 2001, too, and I envy you since I dream of going back.
