Welcome to my travels !

A few months ago I officially made the decision to embark on this trip. I am on my way to Santiago de Compostella, a city in northwestern Spain, where the remains of Saint James rest in a cathedral. The path I am taking has been travelled on since the medieval times. I have just arrived in the town of Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port from where I will start my walk. In some ways the journey started a while ago when I made the decision to start the trip in Ottawa or even earlier when the idea was planted while I was in Vimy in France. I have 800km ahead of me to walk with my backpack before I get to Santiago...
