From Saturday to Thursday for 19 miles! These girls need to pick up the pace. Enough of this lallygagging. Seriously, good for them. A pilgrimage is an honorable journey.

[PMCarey]

Uh, that's 19 miles a day.

[AppyPappy]

Geez, draw the terrorists a map, would ya....

I bet Jena can use a margarita at the end of the day after this hike.

[proud American in Canada]

LOL. You're quick. :)

That's a neat story though. Good for Jenna.

Anyone have any idea of the significance of the shells a couple of the people are wearing?

[Hildy]

Do the Secret Service have to walk along with them??? Yikes.

[cryptical]

Attract the Jesus fish?

The shell is the traditional badge of pilgrims to Santiago de Compostela.

[clarissaexplainsitall]

If memory serves me correctly, the symbol of the city is the shell. And the Cathedral is adorned with the shell. It's a beautiful place. The bones of St. James are believed to be buried beneath the cathedral.

Gosh, so much better and nicer to look at than old Hubble's kid that bill and hillary raised.

She looks healthy to me.

[cookcounty]

Can you imagine Chealsea Clinton sneaking away and doing this? Or High-Beams Kerry?

[jmc813]

Jenna's kind of fat though.

Like hell she is. I think she's really hot. I still prefer Barbara though.

[Joe Hadenuf]

I'd bet if this was Clintons kid, the posts here would be quite different.
