Gonna be a long week

[Frank Mestre]

Off next Sunday against a lot of apprehension and an aborted plane ticket bought plan from last year. Really looking forward to it. Thanks everyone on this forum. You have given me so much support and inspiration. What has finally given me the impuduse at 62 is my attempt at fundaraising for my beutiful granddaughter who has Retts syndrome a rare neurological desese that affects the brain and has left her very incapacitated and intirely dependent on my daughter and husband. The fundraising is towards a wheelchair adapted car. I’m a Spaniard bought up in south east London and a chef so I’m looking forward to some good company. A good crack and a hearty laugh along the 500mile stretch. Can’t wait. C

I am so sorry your granddaughter suffers from Rett’s Syndrome. I wish you a Camino filled with the laughter and camaraderie you seek. A Spaniard who cooks ought to be super popular in the Camino!

Have a wonderful, fruitful Camino!

Have a great journey Frank. Hope to see you catch up to us soon. We're heading over the hill on 25th April.

That song was going through my head before and during my first Camino. Then the next year I did 500 more!

You will certainly have a great time. I did mine at the age of 62 and it is an unforgettable journey. I've given a bit to your cause, let's hope others can afford to do so too.

Buen Camino, Frank! I did my first Camino at 60, my second at 62, and will walk my third next year at 64!!! May angels guide your way!

Frank: We have a niece here in California with Rett's. She is amazing, although quite ragile. It make our daily pilgrim challanges seem paultry by comparision. My sister in law is a Saint, and has devoted a good portion of her life for her daughter. You'll have good reason to stop at every inspirational landmark!

so, you begin tomorrow! Have a wonderful Camino. And don’t refuse if another pilgrim offers to be head chef! Fair’s fair...
