The Way

Actually this is going to sound corny but after seeing the movie 'The Way' I have decided to make a religious pilgrimage of my own. In four years I plan to over the summer take on the El Camino de Santiago. Now while some do The Way for tourists reasons or for fun. I'm doing it for the religious aspect of it. That and the scenery is beautiful. But the religious aspect of it is really why I'm planning to do this. Ever had that feeling deep down that you are meant to do this one thing? That's how I feel. I don't feel like this is a whim. I feel like this is something that God wants me to do. This maybe a game changer for me. I feel as if this is a personal thing I need to do. I'm doing it in four years because I've got to plan this. Maybe you think I sound stupid or crazy. Maybe you think that this IS a silly whim that is absolutely pointless. But I will vehemently disagree.

These are the signs of the pilgrim traveler.

The blue dots connected by green lines is the route I plan to take. The only reason I'm starting in Paris is the fact that certain route goes through Orleans. I love St. Joan of Arc and have always wanted to go to Orleans.

Austen

Well I'm trying to read Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen. I gave Pride and Prejudice a try but I didn't have to real concentration to read it. The one and only problem with P&P was the scenes with all the Ms. Bennets because they could all be having a conversation and Austen would be all "Ms. Bennets said to Ms. Bennet...Then Ms. Bennet replied to Ms. Bennet." and you would have no idea who was talking to who. I was like, "Ms. Austen there is more than one Ms. Bennet! Please let me know who the heck is speaking!"

So I'm gonna give her one more shot. Wish me luck.
