[QUOTE="annakappa, post: 52742, member: 3751"] Hello Jason, When I heard that my 28 year old nephew was about to walk the Camino, I started thinking yes, I would love to do it too, but, but, but... Well he completed it in 28 days, rather rushing towards the end, in my opinion. He then came and visited us in Costa Rica and I started bringing up all the negative points about why it was not possibile for us - too far away, age (both of us over 65), not enough time, have to visit grandchildren when we are in Europe, etc. etc. He simply said "if you really want to do it - just do it" (and stop bringing up all these if's and but's). So we did! The first year was not possible to walk the whole Way (due to our previous already aranged programme to visit the grandchildren), so in 2007 we walked from Roncevalles to Nájera. In 2008 we returned to Nájera, picking up from where we left off and continued to Santiago. Last year 2009, we returned to Roncevalles and walked in 6 weeks to Santiago (by now 67 and 71 years of age). This year we return to be volunteers for the last two weeks of September at the Refugio Guacelmo. We will walk there from Leon and after completing our duties, family permitting, will continue to Santiago. The experience of walking the Camino cannot be fully understood by anyone who has not actually done it. I'm convinced of that. Just go for it. I 'm sure you won't regret it! Anne [/QUOTE]
