Contemplating the Camino

Laura @la_photographic challenged me to do a snail's eye view.

My snail is sitting on the top of a wall of the Roman colosseum at Arles in France. She (not sure of the gender orientation of snails) is looking out from under a scallop shell left there by a pilgrim and wondering if she could make the distance to Santiago de Compostela. Maybe she will give it a go, but only after breakfast!

The scallop shell is the sign of the Camino de Santiago pilgrim's route, also known as the Way of St James, following the route of the apostle James to the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela in Spain

Many thanks to you all. The Pilgrim's route has a special significance to our family as my daughter and her then partner walked the 850km from Roncevalles in France to Finisterre in Portugal, where they got engaged, having decided that if they could survive that walk together they could manage anything together.
