Dance Academy!

We're up in Northwest Spain this week, and spent the morning visiting the Camino de Santiago. It is a longstanding pilgrimage site that ends at a cathedral in the center of town. All year, millions of people walk along the path, many for over a month, and arrive to the cathedral where Saint James visited, and may have been buried. It was really interesting to see people traveling the last few kilometers of the path. We walked the last 5km of the path, but spoke with several people who had been on the trail for weeks. One couple began their trek in Normandy, France. Once we reached the city center we attended mass with all those who had finished their pilgrimage today. It was a wonderful experience to witness the faith and sacrifice of so many people who took significant time and effort to embark on, and complete their pilgrimage. Our cute little group took a picture at the beginning and the end of our walk, and somehow it turned into a new nickname, and some awesome posing. We have 14 girls and two boys in our group, and everyone decided to strike some dance poses. They quickly dubbed themselves the dance academy. I think we're going to have a very fun semester...
