George W. Bush's daughters walked the Camino (...or at least a portion) while he was President of the United States. It was right after college and following the time when Jenna got in trouble for her drinking. I saw a picture in the paper with the Secret Service surrounding them carrying backpacks and a caption stating it was taken on the Way of St. James (unclear where). Jenna had a wooden stick on her hands and looked like she was sweating profusely. I would had never thought in a million years they would, but they did. I can see both The President and the First Lady walking and having a blast :wink:
 
The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.

No, at least not for a First Daughter.The Secret Service is either the man, or disguised as sheep. I heard that there were four agents with her.

Easy to pick out. The secret service agents always wear a frown and sun glasses. Check the girls.
 
The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
It would be a good experience for them....and right in line with Mrs. Obama's "Let's Move" initiative.
