In January 2009 we began walking east from our home on the central California coast. 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 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.
