Guy Thatcher walked the Camino de Santiago, an ancient pilgrimage route, hoping to discover the reason for the compulsion that drove him there. What he found instead was the timeless land of northern Spain, beauty, silence, mountains and plains, rain and relentless sun, snow in May, heartbreaking climbs, fatigue, and injury; friendly and welcoming people, new friendships, despair, transcendental joy, birth and death, and churros con chocolate. He came away with a renewal of his belief in the remarkable goodness of ordinary people from all over the world as they shared an extraordinary journey.A Journey of Days is available online at Chapters.ca and Amazon.comIn 2012 I completed an 800-kilometre walk across France, over the Pyrenees into Spain as far as Pamplona. The next book, "A Journey of Days Continues" was published in October 2013. Exciting times for me!
