"unrest."</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Lest we forget, Basque has been having problems
long before most of us were around.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>When I walked to Santiago two summers ago, I
remember seeing a story about a car bomb in Pamplona, and thinking, I was just
there!</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The world really hasn't been at rest the past two
thousand years, come to think of it, when ever has there been true rest.
Yet, inspite of crusades, wars, rumors of wars, countless pilgrims from all
faiths have continues to make their sacred journeys. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Those called to go on pilgrimage go with a zeal and
fervor acknowledging fear and moving on. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>When I went to Santiago in 2001, I also went to
Ireland, Scotland, England, Israel, France. Which have not had their
share, recently, of unrest. Even in Scotland, I landed two days after
major race-riots. We just have to keep putting one foot in front of the
other. </FONT></DIV>
