Amelia's Testimonial
"Walking the Camino de Santiago was an incredible journey that taught our family many lessons about ourselves and each other. It gave us a path that opened our eyes to the many beautiful faces of Spain. From the old hardened faces of villagers working in the fields, to the fresh and beautiful faces of uptown Madrid. It brought us through the different faces of the Spanish countryside, from beautiful majestic mountains, to endless fields of gold. But as with all amazing travels and journeys, as time goes by, they turn to distant memories that fade gradually until you can no longer feel the warmth of the Spanish sun on your back, taste the tapas, hear the groans of the pilgrims. Most importantly, the closeness you felt with each other, the words that were said, and the lessons that were taught can easily fade. Once you return home, put down your pack and get caught up in life again, it is easy to forget. This is what ''The Way of a Thousand Arrows' has given our family. A beautifully written reminder about the strength and bond we share that will always be with us, even though we are not often all together. It will take you on a vivid journey so that you too can see, smell, feel and taste Spain, and see the lessons that the path teaches that may just enlighten your own path.
This is a great book written by an even greater man. Well done Dad!"
Amelia Drane, August 2008
