I found something interesting on the web today that has intrigued me: Rent-a-Pilgrim. This is a website that is both amusing and amazing. They are a group of people who do about 25k a few times a year to bring in donations.
"We want to collect donations with our pilgrimage from Rothenburg ob der Tauber to Santiago de Compostela for the church St James. This city church of Rothenburg will celebrate its 700 years of existence in 2011." This is their direct reason for doing this pilgrimage! You can visit their website at: http://www.rent-a-pilgrim.com/en/

25kms per year??
It is over 1600km from Rothenburg ob der Tauber to Santiago de Compostela!!
I know! I think it is a very neat idea, but only 25k a year! I am hoping to get more than than in a year... Maybe they live in the area and are able to drive where they last started.
I just thought it was a very neat idea, doing the trip in Middle Ages garb. I am in a midevial recreation group (SCA.org) and would love to do it in garb, but I'm not willing to be that hot in the hot areas.
