Walking the Camino, or the Way, has certain traditions or "rules" that should be followed. First we needed to get a credential or "Pilgrim's Passport". This allows you to stay at albergues which are cheaper than hotels. Most restaurants have a pilgrims meal which is 10 - 12 euros and is three courses: primo, secondo or entre, and a postres. There is also bread and a drink but they ask to see the pilgrim passport. Every place we stop to sleep we get a "sello" in the passport. When we get to Santiago we will show our passport at the Camino office and if it is approved we will get a "compostella." Yes, just like school there is a grading system ( lol ).
When we walk the Camino we find many signs to show the way. Posted are pictures of the different signs that will tell us we were on the right path.
You'll notice there is a shell on my backpack. The shell is a symbol of the Camino and it is for the 3/4 class - a symbol of you doing the trip with me. When you see the shell on a picture it symbolizes the whole class doing the Camino with me. When I return to NB, I will give you the shell for your classroom.
We start on Friday.
Buen Camino
