unexpected camino lesson

[Kiwi-family]

8yo daughter was planning a Turkey itinerary as part of her formal studies today. She mentioned that Izmir and Ephesus are 80km apart (and with the help of a guidebook) had discovered that a bus connects them. She then (to my heart's delight) suggested "Or you could walk it in three days".

A girl after my own heart!

When children gain such deep, abiding experiences in their youth they gain a lifetime of understanding that they can do almost anything. You did a great thing is sharing a Camino experience with little ones.

Been to both; Ephesus blew my mind. Tell her to read ahead as there are not a lot of information displays on site.

Was in Ephesus last year! It and the rest of Turkey is one of the most historically amazing places I've traveled to.

You've got me humming "Teach your children well!"...which you very much have already done!

Love it!!!!
Turkey was the trip of my life!
I stood in Cappadocia amazed...but my heart was drinking a cup of coffee sitting on an old temple site early in the morning all by myself in Side.
She will have a wonderful trip!

Sometimes our daughters say or do something that makes it all worthwhile don't they. As one doting father to one doting mother. Well done you!
