    Are you 70+ and still walking Caminos?

    Five years ago, I celebrated my 75th on CF. This June, I plan to celebrate my 80th, on my 5th Camino. Last Summer, near Santiago, I met an 86-year-old Frenchman who started his 1st Camino in Le Puy, 2 1/2 months earlier. He had averaged about 13 miles(21 km) a day. My new hero!

    The future of the camino?

    Wow! How well written. I love your thoughts. A year after celebrating my 75th birthday on the Camino, I am headed back in 9 days, for another completely different experience---doing exactly the same thing. Some would say, "Why?" I say, "Why not?" If it feels good, why stop? Buen Camino.

    Rotary club on the way to Santiago

    When I was in Finisterre, last June, there were at least two monuments recognizing Rotary. When I start on May 24, from SJPP, I hope to visit clubs in Spain.
