Kees will be hiking the Camino de Santiago in a few weeks. 500 miles in 5 weeks...
For information on this ancient pilgrim's route through Spain, go here: http://www.santiago-compostela.net/
We recently saw a great documentary about the Camino and the various people who walk it, for a variety of reasons. Check it out: http://caminodocumentary.org/
Hope you will find yourself in the middle of nowhere, too! :-)
