Go Big Or Go Home: Round the World Edition We quit our jobs to go exploring before we are too old to hike up mountains and mountain bike down volcanoes. We may be a little crazy but we like it that way!

Remains of a withered arm hanging from a meathook in the Church of St. James the Greater. Legend has it a thief tried to steal jewels off the statue of the Virgin Mary. When he touched them the statue reached out and grabbed his arm and held him there until the parishioners discovered him. They couldn't free him of the statues grasp so they were forced to amputate his arm. It was hung as a warning and has been there ever since.
