The Way of the Stars: Camino de Santiago presentation
Jane Blanchard climbed her first mountain, Mount Washington, in 1974. Since that initial ascent, Jane has climbed twenty of the forty 4,000-ft mountains in New England; she loves the outdoors, hiking and camping.
WHERE : In September and October 2011, Jane, now a sexagenarian, hiked her first “long” walk: 500+ miles along the Camino de Santiago in Spain. This walks starts in St. Jean Pied du Port France, goes over the Pyrenees, and heads west to Santiago de Compostela Spain. This Camino de Santiago, also known as The Way, was one of the three most famous pilgrimages during the medieval ages and is now promoted as a European Cultural Itinerary. In 2011, almost 180,000 pilgrims received a certificate of completion; more than 42 % of these were women and about 25% were over 60 yrs. old. Jane’s presentation “The Way of the Stars” shows the beauty of the Camino from the majesty of the Pyrenees to the arid plateau. Jane Blanchard will have copies of her book for sale and available for signing after the presentation. http://www.Womenoftheway2011.com http://www.Janevblanchard.com Blue Ridge Mountain Sports, Barracks Road Shopping Center, Charlottesville VA
