[QUOTE="Moonchick, post: 130890, member: 19365"] I walked this past fall (2012) with my two daughters aged 16 and 19 from Le Puy en-Velay France to Muxia Spain - over 1,600K. It was an amazing adventure which we all wish had not ended so soon (we were away 2.5 months!) and one we hope to repeat again someday together. Both girls liked planning where we would walk each day and I got into the habit of only vaguely knowing where we were going and just enjoying the scenery and company as they lead the way. They always engaged with other pilgrims and loved our shared meals where everyone shared food, stories, wine, and quite often singing at the table. One daughter had severe blisters for about 2 weeks in France, but was undeterred and refused to stop walking, even for a day. We got so used to walking, and loved the rhythm of that daily activity, that we ended up taking only one rest day the entire walk. I speak neither French nor Spanish. The older daughter had some French and the younger some Spanish so they were the one who interacted with native speakers as we found lodging and food. So I agree with treating them like adults and letting the Way unfold. If they are responsible for getting you from point A to point B or for negotiating the sleeping arrangements or food purchases they will be an essential part of the whole and will most likely love The Way. Buen camino! [/QUOTE]
