This lecture was just so good! Since David Hosking is also a walker, he is able to testify that the Camino is inspiring and hard; the pilgrimage quirky, yet set in stone. This is the second time I've taken this lecture, and once again I'm impressed with how he breaks it down into who we meet: pilgrims past and present; and what we see: the road that is our host offering monuments to visit, nature, art, places to stay, weather, small gifts, and an experience like none other.
David's talk demonstrated both scholarship and personal insight.
We thoroughly enjoyed David’s presentation - great pictures and extensive knowledge. Having walked the French Camino two years ago, this was a lovely stroll down memory lane.
I have enjoyed them in person and online for many years.
They're fabulous!
