About this series

Last update: November 18, 2006 - 1:35 PM

Travel looks at the nature of pilgrimage in this four-part series. The current collection of stories explores physical challenges imbued with meaning that transcends the journeys. On Jan. 7, we'll examine heritage travel and go to the slave castles of Senegal with a writer whose family members may have passed through on the way to the New World. Part I of the series, about spiritual journeys, took us to Jerusalem. Part II, on cultural pilgrimages, followed fans to Elvis Presley's Graceland.
