Diary of the Pilgrim James

Refreshments in inns, a village fair where young people laugh and joke as they spin to the music, green hills – I feel: In Appenzellerland, I have found the idyllic setting I was hoping for on my pilgrimage – and one that makes up for aching feet and exhausted limbs. Here, I find even more: I meet like-minded people who, like me, are on the Way of St. James. "Where is your destination?" - "For now, in France. But later it's Santiago de Compostela," answers Fritz Huber. "To spend a month on the road as a pilgrim – that's my goal," says Sarah Berger. And soon we are discussing, laughing, and singing together on our pilgrimage.
