<DIV>My grandfather and relatives in Germany took me hiking for 5 days
straight through the mountains in Austria when I was 12, it sparked my interest
in travelling and physical fitness in general! It was one of the best
experiences I have ever had.</DIV>

Don't underestimate<BR>kids! If your grandson is reasonably
physically fit and an athlete, I'd<BR>bet he could do it, though we have yet
to start our first Camino, so I don't<BR>know the route yet - we're leaving
St. Jean Pied de Port on about April 30.<BR><BR>Good luck,<BR>Kathy in
