If anyone else is out there starting at SJPP around then, holler at me! :D This week, off...
Hey everyone,

Hello all,
I'm Adriana from Toronto, and I'm in the process of planning my pilgrimage for late April/early May 2009.
I'm in the final semester of my second undergraduate degree (first one was art history) in visual arts and have been wanting to walk this road since studying about it in...
