Hello, everybody!
I am ready for my journey to a very special place.
I'm going to walk a lot,
on the next few days,
to reach my destination.
Do you know where I am going?
That's right!
I am going to Santiago de Compostela.
I am going to walk along the Camino de Santiago.
Or "The Way of Saint James".
Yes! Because Santiago in English is James.
And a lot of other names come from Santiago.
Yago, Thiago, Jaime, Jacob, Jack.
The Camino de Santiago, the Way of Saint James,
is very famous.
And turists and a lot of people from all over the world
come to walk the Way of Saint James.
It's useful to speak English on the way of Saint James.
So I can talk to the other pilgrims.
Pilgrims is the name
of the people who walk along the Way of Saint James.
(TELÉFONO)
The Way of Saint James conect the village of Roncesvalles,
in France,
with the town of Santiago de Compostela, Galicia.
But I can't find Mermaid anywhere,
so I have to go alone.
Hey! Do you want to come with me?
"Oh, yeah!" Great!
Come on, let's go!
So let me show you
what we need before we even take our first step.
I am wearing warm, confortable clothes,
perfect for my long walking journey.
I'm wearing hiking boots,
with warm socks.
I have a coat with a hood,
to protect me from the rain.
And I have sundscreen on,
to protect me from the sun's rays.
I also have a hat,
which protects me from the sun and the rain.
Oh, I almost forgot!
I'm also taking my walking stick with me, and this.
The pilgrim shell.
A wellknown symbol for the pilgrims who walk
the Way of Saint James.
¡Guau!
I'm also caring my backpack with all the food, the clothes,
the things I need for my long walking journey.
Would you like to see it?
Ok.
So, inside my backpack,
I have my first aid kit,
very important, if I hurt my feet.
I also have my flip-flops.
I have some warm socks.
And I have my sunglasses.
I have a bottle of water
and I have some snacks, in case I get hungry.
I have a map,
so I can look all the places to eat,
and the hostels where I can sleep and the end of the day.
Oh! That's strange!
My backpack is still heavy!
There is something here, in the botton!
(RISAS)
It's Mermaid!
¡Bien!
What are you doing here?
I was so tired of walking that I felt sleep!
What do you mean, tired of walking?
We haven't even started yet!
Well, what are you waiting for?
Hurry up! We're late!
I guess she's right!
I better start walking!
See you soon, everybody!
Goodbye!
