Stones on the Camino; or What It Was Like

Lilly a senior lady would never have dreamt of doing the Camino de Santiago. Yet one day she just took off and started this arduous pilgrimage walking 800 km all alone through the north of Spain. Lilly's handicaps as a result of previous brain surgery made traveling on her own sometimes hazardous. On these pages she draws the reader into the beautiful peaceful and happy pilgrim world relating some of the incredible stories she heard. She listens to Stuart when he talks about the agonizing search for his younger brother at Ground Zero and to Alexander from Peru who had twenty siblings all by the same mother. We hear about the lady who was struggling to get away from an abusive narcissistic partner. At an almost hidden level this story lifts a few veils off Lilly's own marriage. We also get to know David who saved Lilly's life during a night of thunderstorms which was by the way not the first time her life was in danger. David returns in quite an unexpected manner in the last few pages of these Camino tales adding more magic to an exceptional journey.
