About this listen
"I just sat down and started it on Sunday and here I am on Monday evening posting my review...please read it...a truly wonderful read." --Amazon reader
"I am a long-distance trekker as well...Camino Sunrise is an enjoyable and inspirational book and I highly recommend it." --J. Robert Harris, author, Way Out There
Walk? 500 miles? Across Spain? We can't do that!
And so began the journey of a lifetime for Reg Spittle.
An outwardly well-adjusted professional and family man, Reg was a master of disguising a lifetime of anxiety that undermined his self-confidence.
Recently retired, he never dreamed he'd soon find himself backpacking across a foreign land, sleeping in dorm bunks and sharing bathrooms as if he were a teenager experiencing his gap year.
When tragedy strikes, Reg reluctantly accepts his wife's challenge to carry his red backpack on the historic Camino de Santiago, confronting the ghosts of childhood bullies and humiliations, while packing weighty new worries.
Self-reflection, humor, and a recurring cast of characters create the backdrop for a story of hope in Camino Sunrise: Walking With My Shadows.
Follow Reg's adventures on four more famed European trails in his new book, Trippin' Through My Sixties: When adventure calls, the trails of Europe answer

Story
Sheila Kogan was not your typical pilgrim! This sixty-something, Jewish-Catholic, grandmother and dance teacher takes us on an unforgettable trek across Spain. With her, we flirt with Richard outside the Cathedral in Leon, reunite a sandal with a dancing Spaniard, weep with Meg over the loss of her daughter, and get a sensuous massage from a tyrannical angel. Close-to-the-bone, funny as well as heart-rending, the stories in Found Along The Way invite us to experience the Camino de Santiago as well as to journey inward, where fear and doubt battle trust and faith.

Story
Walking the lesser traveled Portuguese Camino route, author Terence Callery makes the arduous 400-mile sacred pilgrimage from Lisbon to the tomb of Saint James in Santiago de Compostela, Spain. At a crossroads in his life, the former Maine aquaculture executive and alpaca farmer describes the personal quest as “the most intensely spiritual seven weeks of my life.” Portuguese Camino-In Search of the Infinite Moment is the adroitly told story of two journeys taken in tandem.

After months of preparation, including daily three-hour training walks on coastal Maine roads near his home, he arrives in the spectacular Pyrenees Mountains.

Story
In May 2006, armed only with a small rucksack and a staff, Tony Kevin, an overweight, sedentary, 63-year-old former diplomat, set off on an eight-week trek across Spain. But this was not just a very long walk — it was a pilgrimage. From Granada, in the southeast, to Santiago de Compostela, in the far northwest, Tony followed the Via Mozarabe and the Via de la Plata, two of the many pilgrim trails that crisscross Spain and Portugal and that all lead to a single destination.
