[QUOTE="sillydoll, post: 6708, member: 8"] [b]June Camino[/b] In 2005 a Japanese guy ran the camino in 12 days from Roncesvalles. I don't know what he saw of the monuments along the way or whether he had time to lie in a field of poppies and watch the white and black stork swooping over the fileds looking for food for their young. He probably didn't have time to chat to the locals or attend a mass in a village church. Any really fit walker can cover the 800kms of the camino in 20 days - or walk ± 40kms per day. (Even Shirley Maclaine managed it when she was over 60 years old.) For most people hiking almost 40kms per day for 20 days is not fun and I, for one, would hate to walk for 11 hours a day for three weeks unless I could have a siesta at mid-day and numerous stops along the way. For many people the camino is a once in a lifetime experience and they must try to savour every moment of their time there. I went back again in 2004 because I knew that the 27 days we took to walk from Roncesvalles in 2002 was too quick. This time I want to slow down even more and really smell the roses. "When you run so fast to get somewhere You miss half the fun of getting there. When you worry and hurry through your day, It is like an unopened gift.... Thrown away. Life is not a race. Do take it slower Hear the music Before the song is over." Abrazos, [/QUOTE]
