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.

They Paved Paradise To Put Up A Parking Lot
I was walking down an aisle at the Goodwill in Fort Collins when I looked up and saw this hanging from the ceiling. It stopped me in my tracks. I remember this building. It was one of the Goodwill stores that my mother bought our clothes from when I was a child. It was also the first Goodwill store in Denver. I loved that building. It was big and old with creaky wooden floors and smelled of wool clothing that had been on the hangers too long mixed in with the smell of dust and old books. I am not sure when they tore this building down but the land is now a parking lot. So much of old Denver gone now just so developers could make money. It breaks my heart.

Isn't it amazing what is saved and what is torn down? I understand how some buildings are a health hazard now, but then some buildings are left standing even though they appear to me to be in disrepair, too. I suppose it all has to do with who owns the land, and how greedy he or she is.
Yep.
