he is doing great. He met a several people already who are walking the same trail only staying in different cities overnight. The story of today is that he walked with a man a few years younger than him, but with the same humor as him. He enjoyed that companion for the day. They are staying the night at the same place tonight. But it is fun to read his stories, photo's and quotes he is sharing.

I think in 1-2 days he will be in France already. He found himself a hiking buddy. My dad and the man he met last week decided to walk mostly of the trail together. My dad says he has the same humor as my dad.

In a few days my dad will be walking in the center of France. He is on day 35 now and is still doing very well. Only sad thing is that there was a lot of rain in the passed few weeks. Happily there was a very warm and sunny weekend last weekend. He has met a lot of different people already locals but also other hikers, walking to Spain as well.

I've been listening to Arnold Schwartzenegger's book "Be Useful' on Spotify. I thought about your dad when, in the first chapter, he talks about the benefits of walking. He says "Many of history's greatest thinkers, leaders, scientists, artists, and entrepreneurs found some of their greatest inspiration going for walks." And he provides anecdotes from Wadsworth, Aristotle, Nietzsche, Einstein and Thoreau. He goes on to quote a 2014 study at Stanford University that showed 'walking increased the creative thinking of 100 percent of the study participants who were asked to walk while completing a series of creative tasks." He goes on to quote some more anecdotes from a man who walked the length of the western Himalayas and later the Camino de Santiago de Compostela in Spain. It's a really interesting part of the chapter of the book.
I think it will be so interesting to see if your dad shares any problems he resolved or creative visions he developed while he's been out walking alone with his thoughts. And maybe a short walk is what all of us could use when our creative mojo isn't what we'd like it to be!

It has been a month since I posted the last update. My dad is walking for more than 3 months now already. And he is still enjoying it everyday. He sometimes has ups and downs on the trail, But the ups are weighting much more than the downs.
He is in Spain now since a few days and now he is in the country of destination he is even meeting more people from all over the world. And the views are getting more and more breathtaking. He has only around 930 KM to go maybe less. Only 1 more month before he will getting back home again.

Wow! It's hard to imagine how much ground he's covered. I love seeing his photos! I admit I did chuckle at 'only' 930 km to go. That sounds overwhelming to me!!!

A new update and the last one... My dad arrived Santiago de Compostella yesterday!!! That his goal for the journey. My mom and sister will pick him up on Sunday/monday and than they will stay for another week to just celebrate a vacation.
But I'm so incredibly proud that he has finished his journey. My new scoop coming this weekend with Kelly is totally inspired by my dad's adventure.
