I finished the Kerkeling book today. It has been interesting reading it while we are on a walking vacation in Switzerland but we are staying in a comfortable chalet and only walking 2 to 3 hours a day, nothing like what he did. He gives a good description of the trail and his personal journey. A bit too much emphasis on God for me, but it is a religious trail so I should not be surprised.So far, I enjoyed "I'm Off Then" by Hape Kerkeling & "Grandma's on the Camino: Reflections on a 48 Day Pilgrimage to Santiago" by Mary O'Hare Wyman. Enjoyed both. Hape did skip over a section or two, but this 70 year old grandmother literally walked every inch of the entire Camino Frances Route. Her observations and stories were interesting and often times funny. I have downloaded a couple more books but haven't read them yet, so I can't recommend them at this time.
I finished her book today and enjoyed it although I paged through a lot of the new age spiritualism stuff (which was about 1/3 of the book). She really did full on pilgrim as you said! By the end she was sleeping beside the trail.... AnnieNC recommended Shirley's book to me and I heard it (got the audio version) so long ago I had forgotten about it. I really enjoyed it a lot as well. Definitely some spiritualism in her journey. I admire her for going full on pilgrim sleeping in albergues & carrying her own pack. She had some interesting observations and description as well. The audio book although more expensive was actually great because Shirley does the narration. ...
Boy, her descriptions of the refuges!
