Transitioning back was really hard. I think I slipped into a mild depression. I'm planning my next Camino for May 2014 and am doing the whole 790k and will see my 72nd birthday along the way. After that, there's West Highland in Scotland (ancestral walk for me). However, the Camino .. just can't explain it to anyone who has not been there. They just look at me like I've taken leave of my senses and by now they are rolling their eyes. So, I don't talk about it much. I really appreciated this forum for that very reason...you all understand.

Patty you are an inspiration. I'm 63 and sitting having a glass of red by the Rhone before my train to Le Puy tomorrow, walking to Astorga and maybe even Santiago. Also want to do the Highland Way and who knows we may meet up there as I plan to spend the rest of my years on foot. Good on you as we say on Australia. X

Hi Patty, I did the W.H.W. in 2010 to mark my 50th and repeated it the following year so if you ever want chat about your plans for it, PM me and I'll send you my e-mail address.
Regards
Seamus

The pilgrimage in NYC started as a Meetup.com group with a few of us newbies wanting to gather with others and do training hikes around the city every Saturday. Within days we had dozens of sign ups and our weekly walks are attended by 5 to 16 past and future pilgrims.
We have even become a chapter of APOC.
Camino blues? Reach out and touch someone! You'll be amazed at how many people want to do it or have done it.
Ultreia!
