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.

Two Day After The Election
I've been reading all sorts of opinions about how Trump won the
election. Some say it's the millennials fault for not voting. Some say
it's fault of white women who voted for Trump. Some say it's the
far-left's fault for voting for candidates who they knew could not win.
Some say it's Gary Johnson and Jill Stein's fault for running in the
first place. Some say it's the fault of the people who did not vote at
all.
Let's put the blame where it squarely belongs, on the 59,427,652 people who voted for Trump and an electoral system that is a failure. A system which lets the candidate who doesn't actually lead in number of votes cast win the election. But the electoral system is a side issue in all of this. The main reason Trump is presidential- elect is that 59,427,652 people, who said the wanted change, voted for a man and party that are part of the system that they say they detest.
Fasten your seat belts, people, it's going to be a bumpy ride.
