Never Stop Trying !
- Time of past OR future Camino
- 2016
Hello everyone
Those that have been following me know of my challenges.
I’ve currently had my right knee, right hip and left knee replaced. I have my left hip replacement planned for February/March 2019.
I walked from SJDP to Santiago in 2016. The most enriching and amazing experience of my 54 years.
Dislocating my hips waterskiing on July 17 ....8 days after returning home has been hard. I’ve been forced into inactivity since for the first time in my life. What is helping me through it is my memories of my Camino and my dream to return. My surgeon is amazed by my quick recovery after each surgery...way above the curve.
My question is which Camino to come back to.
After such an amazing experience the first time should I just return to the Frances?
I ? if I’d be disappointed... if it will be less then the first... because of the knowledge ...that experience was in part because of those I met along the Way.
The Portuguese Camino was always my thought .... but which one?
I warn my family that perhaps I’ll walk to Santiago on the Portuguese and walk back to SJDP on the Frances all in one.
Those of you that have returned....what was your experience?
My first Camino I took my time....preferring to stop when I wanted ...not using planned stages.
This would be my plan again.![39288CBD-9853-455D-9927-ADB3AF432A94.jpeg 39288CBD-9853-455D-9927-ADB3AF432A94.jpeg](https://caminoforum-4df7.kxcdn.com/data/attachments/49/49679-fe116be489b5c7fc2ee7f5ef8780a91b.jpg)
