For some of the participants, the trip is solely a religious trek. I'll visit the main religious sites because you're correct, they are interesting from a historical standpoint. However, my main interest (no matter the country) is always ordinary people, living in small towns or villages outside major cities. To see the way average citizens of a particular nation live and function in society. That's why your blog is so interesting. :) It's fascinating to see how others' in the universe go about their daily lives.
