El Camino de Santiago

Been planning alot of things for this summer. One of the first things that was brought to my attention was to walk the famous pilgrimage from the south of France to the west coast of Spain, also known as "El Camino de Santiago", literally...the road/way of Santiago". It's a roughly 800km walk (or ride, some people use bikes or go on horseback), which takes about a month. My brother asked me to go with him and i agreed. What a challenge eh? A brazilian friend of ours walked half the route some time back and said that it was the best thing he ever did in his life, even though he would never do it again. So I really hope to do it, i know its going to be one hell of a tough walk and I'm not expecting it to be easy. But it would benefit me i think, physically and mentally (mostly physically though :P). Just a quick post! :D
