Day 36-42 of walking to Santiago de Compostela from the Netherlands. By now it was early September, and while it could still be pretty warm during the day, the mornings started to get chilly and there was more rain. For the first time in France, I met another Dutch pilgrim. We walked some parts of the trail together, but after a few days we parted ways as I walked longer distances. Not long after, I met two women from Belgium with whom I walked as well and had some great converstations.

It was nice to meet more people, and feel less alone. Especially when I heard the first gun shots and got a little scared for the actual start of the hunting season. It's much harder to be scared when you're walking with other people.

I also stayed with the nuns in Troyes, camped for the last time and after walking 943 kilometers I arrived in the famous town of Vézelay where I visited the Basilica of Sainte-Marie-Madeleine.

Day 29-35 of walking to Santiago de Compostela from the Netherlands. After exactly three weeks of walking, I arrived in Reims at the end of August. From some kilometers away I could already see the spires of the cathedral and for the first time I realised that I had already come quite far. Sure, I still had a long way to go to Santiago, but I had also already walked over 600 kilometers to a place that in itself is a worthy destination.

I decided to stay an extra night to have a little time to relax and walk around the city, but in truth I only found it stressful and couldn't wait to be out of the city again to continue walking. While before Reims I mostly encountered barren farm land, went I left the city I started to see more vineyards and I started to feel like I was really in France.

Day 22-28 of walking to Santiago the Compostela from the Netherlands. During this week I entered France, where I would be walking for the next seven weeks. I slept in an accomodation for pilgrims for the first time and, although I was alone, I got to read about the pilgrims who had stopped by before me in the guest book. The last entry was from only three days ago and it was nice knowing there were other people not too far ahead.

I also had my first fall, which luckily only resulted in a few scratches, got to sleep in a community building in a village without any official accomodation, stayed with a lovely Dutch couple living in France, and saw the landscape around me change from forests and small farms to endless bare fields.

Day 15-21 of walking to Santiago the Compostela from the Netherlands, during which I crossed most of Belgium . At this point I started to feel less like I was on a holiday and it started to feel more like a pilgrimage. Although I really wasn't that far from my home yet, walking everywhere really changes how you experience distances and I started to feel a bit lost. My first night in Belgium I stayed with parents of a friend of mine, but after that I really had no clear plan and had no idea when I would encounter any other pilgrims. As a result my mood wasn't the best, but I think it's one of those things you have to go through to know you'll be fine. And I was! Afterwards I definitely had a few moments where I struggled with certain things, but not quite like this week.

It's been exactly a week since I arrived home after 117 days of walking from my home in the East of the Netherlands to Santiago de Compostela in Northern Spain. Here a few pictures from the first week, which had me walking in Germany for a couple of days, after which I crossed the border back into the Netherlands. I was filled with excitement and wonder those first days, and despite some rain as well as some incredibly hot days I was enjoying every minute of it (minus that time I ran out of water- longest 3 kilometers of my life).

🟡 Excavating ancient pilgrimage at Nessana, Negev

“The churches were the only public structures of Nessana to have been previously exposed; all were ornately decorated basilicas, belonging to the most common architectural form of early ecclesiastical edifices in the Holy Land.”

I'm trying to come up with "math-y pilgrimage sites" to visit.

For example, the bridge in Dublin where Hamilton wrote the equations for the quaternions.

Or the estate where Newton wrote the Principia.

Or, to include a more literal religious angle: the Boole window in the Lincoln Cathedral.

What are some places that you think math and computing nerds should visit?

The Conversation U.S.

Many Hindus, Buddhists and people who follow the shamanic religion of Bon undertake a pilgrimage each year to northern Nepal to look for ancient Shaligrams, which they believe to have an intrinsic consciousness.

But #climatechange and gravel mining are altering the course of the Kali Gandaki river, endangering the pilgrimage and making it harder to find Shaligrams
