It must have been a few years ago when, to my great surprise,a pilgrim passed me in our village. An elderly man with a grey
beard and complete pilgrim outfit; staff, shell, calebas and
backpack.
You can see them sometimes in Bruges, where bronze
shells, fixed in the sidewalks, indicate the Camino.
But little, forgotten Aartrijke has no connection
whatsoever with Santiago de Compostela. Anyway, the pilgrim
seemed sure enough about what he was doing, and
walked firmly into the Aartrijkestraat, which is leading
due south.I presume he arrived safe and well in Galicia.
