    You've inspired me, Don. In April, my wife and I took a group of students on the Camino (we both teach at the same school). We also started in Sarria. On the first day, in trying to keep pace with the kids--I'm 61 years old--my right knee gave out. Thus, on the second day, my Camino was over...

    Seeking Words of Wisdom for a Youthful Group
