Today is the Feast of St. James. On this day, I remember all the pilgrims making their way to Santiago de Compostela. I admire the fact that people can make this pilgrimage in the heat - having to make sure they have enough water. That's one good thing about walking in winter - you really don't need to worry as much about being dehydrated and thirsty.
I can hear those bagpipes playing, church bells ringing, the swinging botafumeiro (large incense burner) and organ music. How lovely it must be.
