It's not Everest and it ain't no walk in the park, but the Camino 'family' continues to inexplicably grow. In 2018 alone, 327,342 pilgrims were received at the pilgrim office in Santiago de Compostela, Spain. Pilgrims worldwide are attracted to the gilded mystery and hope of the Camino. Like the Ouija board, magic 8-ball and Ann Landers, it surreptitiously provides answers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere is snoring. Sleep apnea. Threadbare patience. Frayed nerves. Sour socks. A lot of salami. Shifting from a walk-in closet to a walking closet of just 10 pounds, Jules and Kim decided to walk the historic Camino before their lower backs (or any other body parts) decided otherwise. Jules learned all the essential Spanish they'd need -- luckily everything that was necessary ended in 'o' vino tinto (red wine), queso (cheese), corto (small beer), chorizo (sausage), baño (bathroom).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eTrail Mix\u003c\/i\u003e is the open, frank, and funny story of one Canadian couple voted most unlikely to agree to such a daunting social experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJules Torti\u003c\/b\u003e is former editor-in-chief of \u003ci\u003eHarrowsmith\u003c\/i\u003e magazine.
