«I'm currently traveling as the Museum's lecturer on Travel with the Met's first Met Adventures trip. Join me as we follow in the footsteps of medieval pilgrims on selective hikes along the pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela in Spain. Our first stop is Pamplona, where we visited the street where the famous bull run takes place.»

Later, at Roncesvalles, near the point where the four pilgrimage roads from France converge, we lined up to receive our pilgrim's passport—and walked four miles afterwards.
