... from Madrid, Spain

This morning I visited El Museo Tiflológico, the Blind Museum. Everything inside could be touched. Pieces included famous landmarks at 1/200th of their original size. This allowed me to imagine what it would be like to visit places like the Taj Mahal and the Eifel Tower if I were A) blind and B) a giant.

The highlight for me was the replica of the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela, the end destination of our hike.

Which makes me wonder: would it be easier or harder to hike the 500 miles if I were blind and 200 times my current size? (Comments Welcome)

If everything goes according to plan, you'll see the real one in about 37 days.
