- Time of past OR future Camino
- Frances 2007, Primitivo 2023, ??? 2024
Hola, everyone!
I have walked the Camino Frances in autumn 2007 with my then fiancé (now my wife, today is our 15th wedding anniversary...), during our planning we have found the (old) forum a great help. Since then I have been avoiding this forum for many years, trying not to scratch the pilgrim-itch, due to many other obligations - family, work, voluntary work, etc. etc.
Yesterday, on the Feast of St. James, I had this realization or inspiration: Our kids will be finishing their homeschooling time soon - NOW is the time to walk (at least a short) Camino with each of them, before they get sucked in the high school life... So, I am now fighting by work calendar to clear some two week space in my work schedule and looking for flights to Asturias - the plan is to walk the Camino Primitivo (or part of the Norte? Still not 100% sure, but leaning towards the Primitivo) with my 14yo son. Next year will be my daughter's turn, we will see where from...
I cannot wait to be back - the memories from the first pilgrimage are still so alive... - and my son cannot wait to start walking... The kids have often listened to our stories and memories from back then, now is their time to make their own. And I am immensely thankful that I can walk along with them.
So, thanks to everyone contributing here, I have already found a fount of information to help us choosing the route. And if anyone will be walking at the end of September / early October, see you then, Deo volente.
Pax!
