The snail travels at, well, snail's pace.
And it carries all it owns on its back.
Walking the camino forces one to hop off the rat race and to slow down.
Slowing down allows for new perspectives;
your senses take in what would have been lost in the multitasking treadmill
many of us get stuck on.
In addition, you get a chance to surprise yourself - maybe slowing down will give you
new insight in your blind spots?
And carrying your stuff on your back certainly forces you to rethink the definition of what your needs are. The smart motto when packing is: if in doubt, leave it behind.
Maybe "Slow Travel" will be the natural extension of the "Slow Food" movement?

Is this innocent creature the Iberian snail that Norwegian garden owners fear?
Can this little slug camino all the way to el norte?
