There is something about our culture that says only men and boys can climb mountains. And once you turn 50 – you should pack your bags and get ready to die – you know doing gentle activities like saying prayers and playing with the children and not taxing yourself too much. So what do you do if you are a woman who just celebrated her 60th birthday and has carried this dream of climbing a mountain since she was 16 years old?
You go do what Susan Jagannath did, you climb the mountain NOW!
You don’t wait till you’re 70 – there’ll be another mountain waiting for you then.

AUTHOR

Most Readable…. Informative….. Realistic…… Motivating…..Funny….. and most of all, the Author Susan Jagannath deserves all praise for having the determination to take her dream to its logical conclusion, even at her age, which calls for great mental and physical health and stamina, and also for letting us – the readers – enjoy her journey without moving an inch !!! I hope some of us will like to do her – our own journeys – after reading this book. I sure want to 🙂

A couple of years ago I read Susan Jagannath’s ” The Camino Ingles”. Being a fellow ” camino alumni” I was enthralled with her words; her journey along a camino path not as well known as others. Suffice it to say, I snagged her current tale as quickly as possible, reading it cover to cover over cups of tea.
What an amazing journey! Susan’s telling of her dream to hike this trail, from the time of childhood, makes the accomplishment that much more inspiring. I felt I was alongside her on this breathtaking trek high into the Himalayas.
Thank you Susan for yet another spectacular adventure….my list of potential trails to conquer is growing, thanks to your brilliantly crafted words.
