This is the second edition of the story of our epic walk across America
and Europe to Jerusalem. In January 2009, we began walking east from our
home on the central California coast on my 66th birthday. On Christmas
Day 2010, we walked past the birthplace of Jesus in Bethlehem. Our
pilgrimage was over. This book tells the story of our encounters with
people, places, animals, sun, wind, rain, snow, roads, and paths and
their effects on our bodies, minds, and souls as we walked across North
America and southern Europe. It also tells the story of our encounters
with our own joys, doubts, fears, and ecstasies. It is the story of
living 23 months on the road, of trusting the Universe to provide what
we needed when we needed it.
