The readers "on the ground" report that April's meeting to discuss Half Broke Horses was another success. In keeping with the book's theme, GBC Bill prepared a menu of pulled pork, baked beans, potato salad, and cornbread to name just a few of the dishes to grace the table. In a nod to our January read, the baked beans were de la façon de Julia Child with one change for thematic accuracy. Readership of the book was high despite apparent lack of interest by GBC E.
Your cultural awareness link today is inspired from two pilgrims following the route of Santiago de Compostela in homage to St. James (Saint Jacques). The route has received acknowledgement as a World Heritage Site and each year, thousands make the trek, many with official credencials which would allow travelers to have free refuge on their journey. The French symbol/medallion is the coquille de Saint Jacques (seashell). A nearby church is included on this path.
Special thanks for GBC Paige and GBC Kim for updates on the meeting and to Salemtown Mike for a question on language leading to a turn of phrase above. Please forgive the Wiki link, however I found it be rather good English overview.
