Movie day!  Today we are going to begin a movie about a pilgrimage in Spain.  It called The Way and it is about a trek on the Camino de Santiago.

As we watch, I'd like you to consider the following questions and answer them in the comment section:

At the beginning, Daniel told his dad, "you don't choose a life...you live one."  What are the lessons that Tom learned from Daniel about the world and about life in general as he walked the Camino?

How did walking the Camino change Tom?

What did the other "pellegrinos" think about Tom in the early part of the journey?  And then later on?
