Book excerpt: "What happens when a classics-trained, half-a-century-lapsed Irish-American Catholic sets out to walk not one, but two Caminos, the thousand-year old pilgrimage routes that lead through a vast arc of European history and culture to culminate in the revered burial place of the Apostle St. James in Santiago de Compostela, Spain? This rich and unusual book, a day-to-day and densely-photographed account of one apostate pilgrim's journey, carries the reader through forests, farmers' fields and vineyards, mountains, ancient battle sites, and famous cities, first on the popular inland Camino Francés; and then along the wild, rugged coast of northern Spain on the Camino del Norte"--Back cover.
