Guy carrying a Cello

[xin loi]

Nothing on web about Dane Johansen finishing the Camino. We started walking with him on May 17th and understood he planned to carry his Cello to Finistere by June 30? He was going to play the cello in 36 churchs along the way. Did he finish?

Do you have Instagram? I randomly started following a small film crew with a guy playing his cello across the camino on Instagram. "walktofisterra" is the username. I believe it's the same guy you're inquiring about- and yes, he made it!

Here is Dane Johansen's latest blog dated June 16.

I followed his travels on instagram, and a number of people whom I vicariously walked with had met him. He is a bit of a celebrity

We were lucky enough to be at Finnistere when he gave his final performance on the cliff top. What a magical way to end our Camino

That smile says it all!
One of the most beautiful smiles I have ever seen. Wish I was there to see/hear him play!

He passed us by in Olveiroa, so I think he made it. It took us two days to get to Fisterra from there, but we didn't see him anymore.

He not only made it, but is now traveling all the over the US talking about it. Speaks this Wed. at the Society of the Four Arts in Palm Beach, for instance:

Evidently a big part of the whole deal was making a recording of the Bach Cello suites en route.

So glad to hear he made it. We were privileged to have front row seats at Mansilla de las Mulas....he had to come and ask our kids to make sure they would be quiet because they were right under the microphones and he was so polite and respectful and thanked them for coming. I was in awe of the relationship he had with his cello - it was beautiful.

What a lovely young man!

His walk was just described by the New York Times
