Our pilgrim passports arrived this week! We ordered them about 3 weeks ago from the Canadian Company of Pilgrims. These will be stamped each evening at the hostels we'll stay in as a record of our journey, and to verify to the folks at the Cathedral in Santiago that we've walked every step of the way.We'll sew the badges on our packs. Despite our government's inaction at the recent climate conference in Copenhagen, hopefully being identifiable as Canadians will still lead to positive encounters with fellow pilgrims.
I am going to guess 21 pounds including the bag...although, do you have to pack food?

ReplyDeleteGreetings pilgrims,
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful experience this will be. So happy for both of you. I have a dog eared copy of "The Art Of Pilgrimage" by Phil Cousineau that's traveling with a friend in Thailand. Really like it and think you would too; got it at the Mustard Seed... surprise,surprise. You look good Ms. Al, here's to continued good health. Blessings on your sweet heads and I'll look forward to chair travelling with ya. My moniker is Auntie Barb because I registered that way for my nieces' blog and can't seem to change it so there it is. Love Barb
