Walking to the End of the World: A Thousand Miles on the Camino de Santiago
Beth Jusino is a person more at home with a book than a backpack. Despite that, in April 2015, walked out of a French cathedral in the historic village of Le Puy, down a cobblestone street, and turned west. Seventy-nine days, one thousand miles, two countries, two mountain ranges, and three pair of destroyed shoes later, she and her husband Eric reached the Atlantic Ocean. To get there, they followed the 900-year-old Way of Saint James, commonly known as the Camino de Santiago.
This was not really a journey of hardship – they showered every day, slept in real beds every night, and enjoyed plenty of French cheese and Spanish Rioja along the way. They also spent 14 hours a day outside, away from all electronic devices, hiking and talking with people from around the world. Walking Together to the End of the World is their "warm-hearted and engaging" story of an adventure lived at a more human pace, written as a travelogue and personal guide for those who are also in search of their own accessible adventure.
