Thank you. Very interesting. 😎😎😎
I loved this. You’re a great dad. Glad you’re coming back this year. ¡Buen Camino!
Your videos are both practical and thought provoking. You have convinced me that next years Camino I’ll go solo. I fly out tonight to go with my daughter.
“if I asked you about art, you'd probably give me the skinny on every art book ever written. Michelangelo, you know a lot about him. Life's work, political aspirations, him and the pope, sexual orientations, the whole works, right? But I'll bet you can't tell me what it smells like in the Sistine Chapel.”
Good job! on going back to the camino 😊
Thank you for the heartfelt commentary Greg. Not many understand the importance of the transcendence from boy to man. Society has devalued it to a point it's a taboo subject in most quarters. Doing Frances in August / September. and will be leaving some stones. Love your content and commentary.
Denmark is good for the soul, slow pace 🇩🇰 love Living here 🇩🇰
I completely follow your thoughts about doing the Camino with your kid..im going with my 21 y.o daughter… fantastic to Share one Month of adventure together… but on the other hand i need to make sure that she is okay… really counting Down … 55 days to our Camino start❤🥾🥾
I’m very familiar with Iron John, I’ve done a lot of personal growth work based on that paradigm since the early 90s. I honor your journey, your struggle, your candor and honesty. I can tell you have been through a lot, as so many of us have. I’m a bit older, 64, and I’m about to do my first Camino in August, so I’ll probably miss you as you’ll be way ahead of me. There’s lots we could talk about, but if we can’t, I wish you a Buen Camino, and may your journeys be filled with healing, joy, and blessings!
I know what you mean by needing to wash off society. My faith in humanity and human beings is at rock bottom these days. I also was in a profession--high school teacher--where I had to be "on stage" and "highly extroverted" every day, which came at a physical and psychological cost until I was burned out. Yes, I do need a Camino soon! So great that you are headed back.
September 1st is a good start date and flights are cheap now. I know you're planning a year or two out, but don't put it off too long. 👣
I still have to retire, and no way to be gone for a month + until then, so we are talking maybe 2026 or even 2027. Too bad I started researching the Camino in earnest in 2020, so a long time to wait!
Do you recommend staying in Orisson on first day - thinking it may keep us from wearing out our bodies on first day. Going next May with daughter after she graduates from Clemson.
The Orisson is a pretty short walk, about 8 km. I always recommend starting the first day in the early morning when the sun is coming up, but that puts you at the Orisson at around 9am, too early for me to stop. I usually get breakfast there and just keep going. From the Orisson it's only about 18 km to Roncesvalles, and most of the difficult terrain is behind you. The rest of the day is just a nice easy walk to the top and if you take the path to the right at the peak, it's an easy downhill to Roncesvalles. You will average about 5 km per hour after the Orisson, so you should arrive in Roncesvalles by around 1pm - 2pm if you take a couple of breaks. Depending on your level of fitness, it may be a difficult day or it may not.
The Olaf Way? Never been looks cool though
