Since the times of Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin,
Americans have headed off to Europe on odysseys of
self-improvement. But until recently, Americans have not chosen
'the best way'-El Camino de Santiago. Bill Walker ("Skywalker")
decided to undertake this 500 mile pilgrimage, stretching from the
Pyrenees in southern France to the mystical Galician province in
Northwest Spain. Better yet, he did it in the 'Holy Year' of 2010.
Fully 200,000 pilgrims were struggling on foot to make it to the
Great Gothic Cathedral in Santiago de Compostela. The Camino is
supposed to be a religious-spiritual pilgrimage. But some European
pilgrims told Walker it was really the "The European Divorcee
Trail." At Walker's side was his 18 year-old nephew, Gavin, who
thrives with his special brand of Fonzie-like charm. The
towel-snapping banter between the two of them is reminiscent of the
frat-boy dialogue between Bill Bryson and Katz. Better yet, the two
of them learn just how delightful the French really can be (except,
of course, when they're being impossible), why the Germans are
almost all model pilgrims, and the tragi-glorious roots of the
Spanish national character.
