The Way

I really enjoyed watching the film, The Way.  Watching each of the characters as they traveled on the camino was very inspiring.  I thought that it was really cool to see how each of the characters in this movie changed  as they walked their pilgrimage.  It was inspiring to see how they all seemed to get more in touch with themselves as they traveled through Europe.  I agree that the purpose of the Camino is to find yourself and reflect on your life and its' purpose.  I think it would be beneficial for everyone to go on a pilgrimage whether it be 3 days or almost 3 months like in the movie.  It is a great way to get away from the stress of our everyday lives.  On the Camino, I think that Tom's purpose changed throughout his journey.  He began the Camino so that he could carry his son's ashes and complete it for him.  As the pilgrimage went on, I think that Tom realized he was meant to walk the Camino not only for his son, but also for himself.
