SUMMARY:Author Event: Kathy Elkind
DESCRIPTION:Kathy Elkind will be joining us at The Avid Reader to celebreate the release of her new book\, To Walk It Is To See It\, on October 19th at 6:00. \nAbout the Author\nKathy Elkind is a long-distance walker\, writer\, and eater. Along with her husband\, she has walked the GR5\, the Andalucian Coast-to-Coast Walk in Southern Spain\, and parts of the Cammino Materano in Italy. Kathy lives in the Mad River Valley of Vermont\, in Fayston. \nAbout the Book\nIn 2018\, Kathy Elkind and her husband decided to take a grown-up “gap year” in Europe and walk the 1\,400-mile Grande Randonnée Cinq (GR5) across The Netherlands\, Belgium\, Luxembourg\, and France. Walking day after day for ninety-eight days bring sickness\, accommodation struggles\, language barriers\, and storm-shrouded mountains in the Alps. Meanwhile\, Kathy finds herself reflecting on difficult topics—primarily\, her struggles with dyslexia\, overeating\, and shame. As the days unfold\, she comes to the gratifying realization that a long marriage is like a long trail: there are ups and downs and it takes hard work to keep going\, but the beauty along the way is staggering. \n
