[QUOTE="OTH86, post: 308265, member: 27644"] Hi Super ~ I guess that's an interesting point -- if one has "succeeded" on the first try, does that make later, unfinished Caminos feel less "undone"? I don't know. Maybe it depends on one's outlook. I walked twice - both times starting in SJPP and finishing in Santiago. But on the first one (43 days), I took a few buses, a train, two taxis and accepted rides from Spaniards twice - more for prevention - I turned 69 on that Camino, have arthritis in feet and knees and wasn't sure about (afraid of ?) some of the more severe down sections. The second time (60 days), I walked almost the entire distance (slowly - between 2 and 15 miles a day and taking several rest days) - I did not walk into or out of Leon. I was not hurt /injured or sick on either of my Caminos - they were - to me - practically perfect - both of them - the 2nd felt like a continuation of the first - but not in a geographical sense. Maybe I'm not qualified to comment on the point you raised. :oops: But I wonder if it's really possible to "fail" a Camino? I don't have an answer to that either, but maybe there's a possibility that there is no failure. One learns SO much and meets SO many new people even in the planning stages, and even more when getting to the starting point, and a bit more still with the first day, second day, and so on. I don't know that one can be the same person after those experiences - even if one has to interrupt the fully-planned journey - it is just an interruption, and can be continued later. ...only a thought. Try to hold fear and speculations at bay, and trust in your good intuitions. Best of luck to you on your second Camino!! Terry [/QUOTE]
