When my neighbor's cat misses his owner, invites himself to our home (just following my son's into the house), strolls on the couch, lies down, behaving like a king says, « Hey ho yo, I need some cuddle,» and I worship HIS demand.
Now in retrospect, thinking of the hike through Camino de Santiago de Compostela, I look at that trip as a kind of walking meditation. As we left mile after mile behind us, the words disappeared. We did not talk much. We would start the promenade after a simple breakfast around 06.30, and by the time we would arrive at the next stop, it was 5- 6 pm. Just time for dinner and after that the bed was calling. I guess this is the case when you walk between 19-24 km every day for many days in a row.

The most popular route is the Camino Francés, which stretches 780 km (almost 500 miles) from St. Jean-Pied-du-Port near Biarritz in France to Santiago.
