Every Step Together on the Camino de Santiago is a story for anyone who thinks that age must limit dreams and adventures. Most people celebrate big events with parties or getaways. In 2017, Ken and Kathy Privratsky commemorated their seventieth birthdays with an unusual celebration: by donning backpacks and walking a legendary pilgrimage route from Saint Jean Pied de Port, France over the Pyrenees, across the historically diverse regions of northern Spain to the sacred city of Santiago, and then onward to the Atlantic Ocean, where they spread ashes of loved ones onto the sea. Their commitment to each other over nearly 600 miles was simply to take every step together. This book details their adventure with extensive information about how they prepared, what they carried, where they stayed, and much more. The authors include hundreds of pictures revealing the beauty, history, friendships, and challenges they experienced along the way. They hope their story inspires others to stay young as they age.
