Saturday, March 1 from 10:00 to 3:00 at Brasington's Adventure Outfitters in Gainesville FL
If you are considering walking the Camino de Santiago and want to know more about how to plan such an adventure, this is the workshop for you. It will answer your "How, What, Where, Why, and When" questions.

There is no fee, but we encourage each participant to take home a copy of our 2013 novel, Second Wind on the Way of St. James, for a special price of $12.00.
