Field of Stars

El Camino de Santiago. The Way of St. James. Over a thousand years and nearly 500 miles leading to the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.  Going along with the celestial theme, compostela apparently means "field of stars," according to Wikipedia.  There's something poetic about it: feet treading the same road, transcending time and space, forging invisible connections reflected in the starlight.

Past midnight two days before leaving, and I'm starting to muse philosophically about the ramifications of this journey...  Before now my main excitement was how toned my legs will be by the time we get to Santiago!
