Böcker av Mitchell Owen Smith

After a health scare, Mitch starts a series of life changes that ultimately lead to the most unlikely of journeys: walking 800 kilometers across northern Spain along the Camino de Santiago. Setting out with his wife of thirty years Mary Lou, and a promise to "follow everything and every opportunity that crosses my path", they are woefully unprepared for the journey ahead; and would have to quickly adapt to the physical, mental and spiritual challenges that at times seemed far heavier than the packs they carried. Through backaches and blisters, bug bites and sunburns, and old injuries that threatened to end the pilgrimage shortly after starting: the Camino challenged, encouraged and called them on. Coincidences and visions, questions and epiphanies, triumph and tragedy, old burdens and new friends, all began to weave a powerful story that challenged long-held beliefs.
