Welcome to the Pilgrimage Blog!
Thank you for visiting. I'm leaving this afternoon (Aug 19) for Ignatius Loyola's birthplace in Spain's Basque country. I'll be speaking at a conference there in honor of the 450th anniversary of his death....On Aug 25th I'll travel from Loyola to St. Jean Pied de Port, at the base of the Pyrenees on the French side; on Aug 26 I'll start walking to Santiago de Compostela.
From today forward, I'll try to post almost daily (depending on whether I find internet cafes en route AND depending on whether foot blisters or a particularly long walk put me in too foul a mood to post)....Your comments are welcome throughout! Please help us spread the word about this site and the Pilgrimage for Our Children's Future....Thanks again and welcome! Chris Lowney

Hey Chris,
I can't believe that you have been walking so many days already. We miss you.

Hello Chris,
Just found your 'Blog' you are making fantastic progress..the feet will harden up by the time you get to Compostella.
Noted that you passed through Logrono in the Rioja region..your cousin Shane Cooney spent 1 year ('04) there commissioning the electricity power station so you could say 'to light your way'...
Will pass on the news of your progress to the irish relatives.
Best wishes,
Mary, Youghal in South of Ireland.
