[Gocamino] Re: 17 year old on the camino

[Cristina Temenos]

"The Camino helps youngsters grow up and oldsters feel young again." 
I second that completely!  From what you write about your son, I'd say he has his head on his shoulders. there aren't too many 17 year olds who would voulenteer thier time, nor ask to go on pligramage.  I also agree that many times "youngsters" are underestimated.  maturity can't be reached if a child is always shelterd.  
Richard makes a good point though, the camino is hard.  many times when reminicing about the camino I find myself forgetting to mention the near daily physical pain and the metal stress which came along with the wonderful aspects of the camino.  But as long as he's not expecting a walk in the park, you shouldn't have any reservations.
that's my two cents
ultreya!

A volte può essere più bello camminare che arrivare. Arrivare non esiste, è solo un momento del cammino.
