00:00:00Doctor, okay, great work Anthony, hi, thank you, Marcus.
00:00:28Dot, is this really necessary Monica, I have to get back to my desk, I don't trust that
00:00:37new kid answering the phones.
00:00:39That new kid, Marcus, he's been working here what, five years?
00:00:43Which is like one month compared to my 45 years as head receptionist.
00:00:48Yeah, well, I have some bad news for you, you're not going to be answering any more
00:00:52phones today.
00:00:53You sprained it pretty badly, how'd you do this?
00:00:55Got into a fight with the filing cabinet, believe it or not, I won.
00:01:01Have you met the new practice manager?
00:01:03Um, not officially.
00:01:05I'll be fine, go, introduce yourself.
00:01:10Straight home, don't think I won't find out.
00:01:13Hi, I'm Monica Miller.
00:01:16Alex Blake, walk with me?
00:01:20Let me know if you need help finding your way around, can be a bit of a maze.
00:01:24That's why they say you are the person to go to with any questions.
00:01:26Hmm.
00:01:27You know, by the way, I was going over the personnel files and I noticed that you haven't
00:01:32taken any vacation in, what, four years?
00:01:36Huh?
00:01:37That's right.
00:01:38Wow.
00:01:39I guess I'd rather spend my time with the patients than gallivanting through Europe.
00:01:42Which, I suppose, is commendable.
00:01:44This place depends on me.
00:01:46I don't want to leave the hospital high and dry.
00:01:47I'm sure you understand.
00:01:48Of course.
00:01:49That's why you have a team.
00:01:51You know, I actually just got back from, um, Galvanti, through Italy with my family
00:01:56for two weeks.
00:01:57And, other than the jet lag, I've never felt more ready to take on my new role.
00:02:03Sometimes you just need a break, you know?
00:02:05I'm sorry.
00:02:06I didn't mean it like that.
00:02:07Oh, no, no.
00:02:08Don't worry at all.
00:02:09But, um, promise me to think about it.
00:02:11I promise.
00:02:12Okay.
00:02:13Nice to meet you.
00:02:14Likewise.
00:02:15Hi.
00:02:16Hi, love.
00:02:17Hello.
00:02:18How are you?
00:02:19Good to see you.
00:02:20You too, Mom.
00:02:21How was your hiking trip?
00:02:22Canada was breathtaking.
00:02:23You would have loved it.
00:02:24Hmm.
00:02:25Okay.
00:02:26Something's up.
00:02:27Okay.
00:02:28Something's up.
00:02:29How was your hiking trip?
00:02:30Canada was breathtaking.
00:02:31You would have loved it.
00:02:33Hmm.
00:02:34Okay.
00:02:35Something's up.
00:02:38What's going on?
00:02:41I didn't get the promotion.
00:02:44I thought you were a shoo-in for the practice manager?
00:02:47So did I.
00:02:48They hired a very nice woman named Alex.
00:02:51Oh, I'm so sorry, honey.
00:02:53I just thought if I work so hard that it will ensure I get the promotion.
00:02:58And then once I got the promotion, I'll know I made it.
00:03:01Made it to where exactly?
00:03:03To the point that made it all worth it.
00:03:07To the top of the mountain I've been climbing all these years.
00:03:10Oh, sweetie.
00:03:11It's not about reaching the top.
00:03:13All the good stuff happens while you're on the journey.
00:03:16Listen, love.
00:03:17Making it.
00:03:19It's not about a job promotion.
00:03:22It's about balance and joy.
00:03:25Chasing the next big win never gives us the satisfaction we think it will.
00:03:30You didn't say that when you wanted us to compete on the amazing race.
00:03:34The only reason they didn't choose us is because it wouldn't be a fair race for anyone else.
00:03:38But you submitted us?
00:03:40I did.
00:03:41Hello.
00:03:42Hello.
00:03:43Hi.
00:03:44Would you like something to drink?
00:03:45Yes.
00:03:46A double espresso with no milk or sugar, please.
00:03:49Okay.
00:03:51I wonder if he's single.
00:03:53Mom?
00:03:54What?
00:03:55You can't blame me for trying to play matchmaker.
00:03:57I don't remember the last time I had coffee with a girlfriend, let alone had time for a date.
00:04:02You give so much to everyone else.
00:04:06What about giving something to yourself, if not romance?
00:04:09How about we talk about a vacation?
00:04:11I know exactly where you should go.
00:04:14The Camino de Santiago.
00:04:15The Camino?
00:04:17Mom, that's more of a pilgrimage than a vacation.
00:04:21Do you really think walking hundreds of miles in Spain is a good way to get the rest and relaxation I need?
00:04:26I know it sounds strange, but it will heal you in ways you can't even begin to imagine.
00:04:31You know, um, your dad and I, we were both at a crossroads when we first met on the Camino, searching for something more.
00:04:41And who knows, maybe you find love there too.
00:04:44Taking some time to relax.
00:04:46I am relaxed.
00:04:47You're a double espresso.
00:04:51Don't give me that look.
00:04:55I'll think about it.
00:04:58Think about it.
00:05:00Okay, go ahead.
00:05:01No, no.
00:05:02It's not that much.
00:05:03This has to show up up there.
00:05:04See?
00:05:05Mm-hmm.
00:05:06You know, to get some of the stuff.
00:05:07Okay, go.
00:05:08No, no, no.
00:05:09It's not that much.
00:05:10This has to show up up there.
00:05:11See?
00:05:12Mm-hmm.
00:05:13You know, to get some of the stuff.
00:05:14Okay, go.
00:05:15No, no, no, no, no.
00:05:16I'll see.
00:05:17I'll see.
00:05:18You know, to get some of the stuff.
00:05:19Okay, go.
00:05:20Okay, go.
00:05:47Mom?
00:05:49I'm in.
00:05:51I'll go on the Camino.
00:06:09I'm on the Camino.
00:06:11I'm on the Camino.
00:06:13I'm on the Camino.
00:06:15I'm on the Camino.
00:06:17Hi, Mom.
00:06:21Oh, you're finally on the Camino.
00:06:23Well, almost anyway.
00:06:25This village is stunning.
00:06:27It's like stepping back in time, isn't it?
00:06:29Soak it all in, honey.
00:06:31Must feel good to be traveling again.
00:06:33Remember back in college when you dreamt of seeing the world?
00:06:37Did I remember to tell Alex about their post-op schedule?
00:06:39Honey, they'll be fine.
00:06:41Well, so I've been told.
00:06:43Did you bring the devotional?
00:06:45Oh, I did.
00:06:46Thanks, Mom.
00:06:47Now, I know a daily mindfulness journal isn't your usual thing, but your dad picked it out
00:06:53before you passed for a time when you'd need it.
00:06:55This seems like it.
00:06:57Monica, you don't have to be certain to take a leap.
00:07:00In fact, it's better not to be.
00:07:03The opposite of faith isn't doubt.
00:07:05It's certainty.
00:07:06He loved that saying.
00:07:08I remember.
00:07:09But in my mind, he always seemed so certain.
00:07:12Well, certainty and, uh...
00:07:14And trust can seem like similar things, but they're not.
00:07:17Your dad always trusted the journey, even when he didn't know where God was leading.
00:07:22And that's what he wanted for you, too, Monica.
00:07:25To know that who you are right now is enough to start.
00:07:29I'll try to remember that.
00:07:32Oh, I better get going.
00:07:34I'm meeting Consuelo at 9.30.
00:07:36Oh, oh, don't forget your, uh, Pilgrim passport, huh?
00:07:39Ah, right.
00:07:40Thanks.
00:07:41Love you.
00:07:42Bye, love.
00:07:55Morning.
00:07:56Morning.
00:07:57Morning.
00:07:58First time?
00:07:59Isn't that obvious?
00:08:00No, but I've worked here a long time, and there's a...
00:08:02There's a different kind of look in the eyes of those who haven't walked before.
00:08:04Is it a look of delusion?
00:08:05More of a nervous uncertainty, I'd say.
00:08:06Yeah.
00:08:07That tracks as well.
00:08:08That does it.
00:08:09Don't worry.
00:08:10I can tell you you're going to have a beautiful Camino.
00:08:11Camino Hermoso.
00:08:12You'll see.
00:08:13So, important.
00:08:14This is your...
00:08:15Pilgrim passport, okay?
00:08:16Every time you arrive to a new town, make sure to get it stamped.
00:08:18At the end, you will present it at the Pilgrim's reception office in Santiago de Compostela
00:08:20to receive your gift.
00:08:21Yes.
00:08:22You haven't walked before.
00:08:23I haven't walked before.
00:08:24Is it a look of delusion?
00:08:25More of a nervous uncertainty, I'd say.
00:08:26Yeah.
00:08:27That tracks as well.
00:08:28That's it.
00:08:29Don't worry.
00:08:30I can tell you you're going to have a beautiful Camino.
00:08:31Camino Hermoso.
00:08:32You'll see.
00:08:33So, important.
00:08:34This is your...
00:08:35Pilgrim passport, okay?
00:08:36Every time you arrive to a new town, make sure to get it stamped.
00:08:38At the end, you will present it at the Pilgrim's reception office in Santiago de Compostela
00:08:42to receive your official Compostela certificate.
00:08:45This has been a tradition for over 1,000 years.
00:08:48Wow.
00:08:49Mm-hmm.
00:08:51You're welcome.
00:08:52Buen Camino.
00:08:53Gracias.
00:08:54De nada.
00:08:55Bye.
00:08:56Bye.
00:08:57Uff, don't worry.
00:09:01Please.
00:09:02Uh, Consuelo?
00:09:03No.
00:09:04No, no, no.
00:09:05Soy Consuelo.
00:09:06Lo siento.
00:09:07Oh.
00:09:08¿Te puedo ayudar en algo?
00:09:09Uh, sorry.
00:09:10Do you speak English?
00:09:11English, French, German, Spanish, whatever you'd like.
00:09:12Wow.
00:09:13I really should have paid more attention in high school Spanish.
00:09:15I'm looking for my tour guide and the rest of my group.
00:09:16I think they might be running late.
00:09:17Being punctual is rarely possible.
00:09:18And I'm looking for my tour guide and the rest of my group.
00:09:19I'm looking for my tour guide and the rest of my group.
00:09:20I think they might be running late.
00:09:23Being punctual is rarely possible on the Camino.
00:09:24Give them some time.
00:09:25If it gets too late, you can always head to your accommodation and wait for them there.
00:09:39They'll assume you decided to go ahead.
00:09:41Oh.
00:09:42Okay.
00:09:44Bye.
00:09:45Bye.
00:10:15Bye.
00:10:16Bye.
00:10:17Bye.
00:10:18Bye.
00:10:19Bye.
00:10:20Bye.
00:10:21Bye.
00:10:22Bye.
00:10:23Bye.
00:10:24Bye.
00:10:25Bye.
00:10:26Bye.
00:10:27Bye.
00:10:28Bye.
00:10:29Bye.
00:10:30Bye.
00:10:31Bye.
00:10:32Bye.
00:10:33Bye.
00:10:34Bye.
00:10:35Bye.
00:10:36Bye.
00:10:37Bye.
00:10:38Bye.
00:10:39Bye.
00:10:40Bye.
00:10:41Bye.
00:10:42Bye.
00:10:43Bye.
00:10:44Bye.
00:10:45Would you consider yourself a patient person?
00:10:59Why or why not?
00:11:02Well?
00:11:0530 minutes.
00:11:08Say I was more than patient?
00:11:12Right.
00:11:15This is speedway.
00:11:18Starting walking route. Estimated time, 2 hours.
00:11:39In 9 meters, turn right.
00:11:45Turn right and continue straight for 4.8 kilometers.
00:11:57You've got to be kidding me.
00:11:59Continue straight.
00:12:00Can I help you?
00:12:13Oh, I'm fine. Thanks.
00:12:15Did you get lost on your way in?
00:12:18Lost? I know exactly where I am.
00:12:20Why would you assume I'm lost?
00:12:22Just a hunch.
00:12:23There is our lost pilgrim.
00:12:26Consuelo?
00:12:26Yay!
00:12:27Oh, Monica.
00:12:29Oh.
00:12:31You look even more beautiful than the picture Olivia sent of you.
00:12:36Thank you for finding her, Luis.
00:12:38Oh, uh...
00:12:39Yeah, yeah.
00:12:40I wasn't actually lost.
00:12:42My GPS just kind of rerouted me.
00:12:45GPS can be clever, but you've heard about the yellow brick road?
00:12:49Here, we follow the yellow arrows.
00:12:51If you see those or the scallop shell symbol, you know you're on the right path.
00:12:57Okay?
00:12:58Okay.
00:12:59Good.
00:13:00For the record, rerouting is just a fancy way of saying lost.
00:13:05You're really enjoying this, aren't you?
00:13:10Monica, you've already met Luis.
00:13:13Let me introduce you to the rest of your compañeros.
00:13:16This is Ernesto, Luis's father.
00:13:18Encantado.
00:13:19Nice to meet you.
00:13:20And this is Mateo, Luis's son and our youngest pilgrim.
00:13:24Hi.
00:13:25Hi.
00:13:26We're glad you finally made it, Monica.
00:13:28Oh, uh...
00:13:30Actually, I was here on time.
00:13:32I waited about 30 minutes and then I headed out on my own.
00:13:35Didn't go as planned, but I...
00:13:37It's okay, querida.
00:13:38We didn't mind waiting for you.
00:13:40No, no.
00:13:41I was here at 9.30.
00:13:43Really?
00:13:43If you started without us?
00:13:45How did you end up back here?
00:13:47Ah.
00:13:48Oh, uh, her GPS rerouted her down.
00:13:50Oh, GPS, I see.
00:13:51Yeah, I hear there were some trail closures?
00:13:54Yeah.
00:13:55This is what happens when pilgrims keep their eyes on a screen.
00:13:59Isn't that right, Mateo?
00:14:01Not sure if this even qualifies as a screen.
00:14:03It was a compromise that the guy didn't let him bring a smartphone.
00:14:08Yes, I got that as a relic.
00:14:10That doesn't do anything.
00:14:11Don't act like you're not enjoying playing snake on that thing.
00:14:14Snake, I mean, what are you...
00:14:14I don't really care what kind of phone it is.
00:14:17What's the point of a pilgrimage if you're not disconnecting?
00:14:20Your abuelo has a point.
00:14:21It's okay, he doesn't have a...
00:14:22It's okay, boys.
00:14:23That's enough for today.
00:14:25Let's go.
00:14:27Those three have been bickering since we left France.
00:14:31Don't worry.
00:14:32You'll get used to it.
00:14:34And you'll also get used to the Camino having the path of its own.
00:14:39You can plan all you want, but sometimes it just has other ideas.
00:14:46Right.
00:14:47Of course.
00:14:47But, you know what, if it's okay, I would love to try to stick to my itinerary.
00:14:54You know, make the most of the Camino.
00:14:56Que inocente.
00:14:58Mom?
00:14:59In that case, we better get going.
00:15:02Yeah?
00:15:02Vámonos.
00:15:03Venga.
00:15:04Claro.
00:15:04Vámonos.
00:15:05Your mother told me you work in an emergency room.
00:15:12That must be a very fast-paced job.
00:15:15Very.
00:15:16It's part of what I like about it.
00:15:18This must be quite the change of pace for you, then.
00:15:22Yes.
00:15:23I'm not used to going as slowly.
00:15:26The Camino has its own rhythm, and it's not always going to be the rhythm we expect or want.
00:15:34Well, as long as I don't miss anything important.
00:15:37Do you think we'll still make it to the village by sunset?
00:15:40I heard it has a spectacular view.
00:15:42We'll arrive after dark.
00:15:43The sunset may be gone.
00:15:44But the moon already shows up with its own kind of beauty.
00:15:51Perhaps view this journey as a challenge for yourself.
00:15:55The Camino is not meant to be easy.
00:15:58That's it.
00:15:58I'm not challenging myself enough.
00:16:01Yeah.
00:16:01Yeah.
00:16:02Do you mind if I walk ahead of the group?
00:16:04If I pick up the pace, I think I can get there by sunset.
00:16:08Yes, of course.
00:16:09Yeah.
00:16:10We wouldn't want you to miss anything important.
00:16:13Thank you, Kate.
00:16:20Why let her rush off like that?
00:16:23The Camino is not an obstacle course.
00:16:26Every pilgrim has their own walk.
00:16:30And perhaps you would get more out of your own walk if you shifted a bit of your focus from others to yourself.
00:16:43I'm sorry.
00:16:46Bye-bye.
00:16:48Bye-bye.
00:17:01Are we riding again?
00:17:14I got it.
00:17:19Heads up!
00:17:21Here.
00:17:22Oh, thank you.
00:17:24You guys caught up quickly.
00:17:25You hadn't gotten that far yet.
00:17:29Oh, it's okay.
00:17:29I got it.
00:17:30Hey, just let me help.
00:17:35Boom.
00:17:36There you go.
00:17:42Sure.
00:17:47You're, uh, not really good at accepting help, huh?
00:17:51Uh, I don't usually need this much of it in my real life.
00:17:54How much easier would life be, though, if you had someone to help you put your shoes on every day?
00:17:58Now that you mention it, I don't know how I've gone this long without it.
00:18:05Shall we?
00:18:06Yeah.
00:18:07Rushing through the Camino is, you know, like rushing to church.
00:18:11It's meant to be slow.
00:18:13It's meant to be slow.
00:18:14It allows you space to breathe.
00:18:16Because, I don't really care.
00:18:17These days, everyone is in a rush.
00:18:20Everyone.
00:18:20They...
00:18:20They...
00:18:21They distract themselves with anything in order to...
00:18:26not to sit with their own faults.
00:18:29Believe it or not, I agree with you.
00:18:32Yeah, I believe.
00:18:33I could have reminded Monica that the Camino is not meant to be rushed, but I find wisdom often finds pilgrims best on its own.
00:18:43Well, you say so.
00:18:44Consuelo?
00:18:46Seems like the Camino doesn't want me to go ahead on my own, huh?
00:18:50The less you find its rhythm, the quicker you will learn to dance with it.
00:19:03Thank you again for your help back there.
00:19:05Walking the Camino with one shoe is a challenge, even for me.
00:19:10I'm just glad we got your shoe back.
00:19:12I got off my day pack a couple days back, and before I even had a chance to try and grab it, the river just took it.
00:19:19Oh, what was in it?
00:19:20Nothing important.
00:19:22One notebook, some snacks, my divorce for dummies book.
00:19:29Oh, you're being serious.
00:19:31Oh, I'm sorry.
00:19:32It's okay.
00:19:33I've read more than my fair share on the subject.
00:19:36It's just the how to not mess up your kid chapter that I'm rereading for the hundredth time.
00:19:42It was amicable, but I just worry about how it's all affecting Maddie.
00:19:47Well, I'm sure watching you two walk through it with love is helping them a lot.
00:19:52Thanks.
00:19:53Definitely sounds a lot better than my current inner monologue.
00:20:01So, where's home for you?
00:20:13Boston.
00:20:16No.
00:20:18Me too.
00:20:19What?
00:20:20That is such a crazy coincidence.
00:20:22The longer I'm on this Camino, the less I believe in coincidences.
00:20:27Hmm.
00:20:28Or it could be that my mom and your family used the same travel agency to find Consuelo.
00:20:33You know, my dad met Consuelo through a mutual friend here in Spain.
00:20:36A couple more days on the Camino, and you might start to think differently.
00:20:41Okay.
00:20:47How long have you guys been walking?
00:20:49Seven days.
00:20:51Hmm.
00:20:52And what's something you've seen differently so far?
00:20:55Well, I think my initial reasons for coming on the Camino are nothing more than like a superficial surface-level interpretation of the actual reasons why we're here.
00:21:05There's a lot more to unpack on this journey than you might think.
00:21:08A lot more to unpack.
00:21:09Spoken like a true intellectual.
00:21:12And, I'm gonna guess, a therapist?
00:21:16Psychologist, actually.
00:21:18Oh.
00:21:20And what brings you here, Dr. Luis?
00:21:23Well, ten days ago, when I told you it was to spend more time with my family.
00:21:28And today?
00:21:30I don't think I have the answer for you.
00:21:32But I definitely know it's a lot more than, you know, three generations about wetting him in on some sort of homecoming trip.
00:21:39You said homecoming. Are you from here?
00:21:41Yeah, I, uh, grew up here. Well, until I was about eight, anyway.
00:21:45We'll actually be passing right to my village soon.
00:21:48That is so cool. I cannot wait to see it.
00:21:51Yeah, same. It's been a while.
00:21:54You know, when we left, my dad wanted a fresh start, but he never really let go of Spain. He talked about it constantly.
00:22:01Always, uh, wanted us three to take this family bonding trip together.
00:22:06Well, how's the bonding going so far?
00:22:08Let's just say, it's not exactly the way I envisioned.
00:22:11Maddie is in search of Wi-Fi instead of wisdom. And my dad has other ideas.
00:22:18Where does that leave you?
00:22:20Somewhere in the middle.
00:22:23Trying to meet their expectations while simultaneously trying to figure out my own.
00:22:28Sounds like there's a lot to unpack there.
00:22:37Hola. Bienvenidos. Perfect timing.
00:22:42Oh, gracias. Gracias, guapa.
00:22:44Dinner's almost ready. Oh, who's hungry?
00:22:48Consuelo, were the inns along the Camino always made for the pilgrims?
00:22:53Many of them, yes, including this one.
00:22:56But inns are not the only accommodations. Many families choose to open their homes to pilgrims.
00:23:03Claro. We used to host pilgrims all the time at our house before we moved to the U.S.
00:23:11I read that judges used to sentence prisoners to walk the Camino as a form of penance.
00:23:15I can relate.
00:23:17Maddie, my mom did not exactly give me much of an option about coming on the Camino either.
00:23:22Okay. How about we play a game? Who's up for some verdad or reto?
00:23:27Oh, yeah.
00:23:32Truth or dare.
00:23:33Oh, that sounds much less intimidating when you say it in English.
00:23:36Okay. I'll go first. Monica, truth or dare?
00:23:40Well, it was less intimidating for a minute.
00:23:43Truth, I guess.
00:23:45So, Monica, who are you?
00:23:49I am a nurse practitioner at an emergency room.
00:23:55My hospital is just outside Boston, Massachusetts.
00:23:58Not what are you, but who actually are you, Monica Miller?
00:24:04Who am I?
00:24:05As you can see, we don't really do small talk on the Camino. We get deep very quickly.
00:24:15Okay. Why don't we just do something a little simpler?
00:24:18I don't know. What is something you enjoy doing outside of work?
00:24:21Well, I don't get outside of work much these days.
00:24:26I actually can't remember the last time I did something just for the fun of it.
00:24:30In the past, did you have any hobbies or things that you really enjoy doing?
00:24:35Mm-mm.
00:24:38Actually, I did take a pottery class in college on a whim, and I loved it.
00:24:44The hours would fly by like minutes.
00:24:47An artista? How wonderful!
00:24:49No, I don't...
00:24:51Why did you stop?
00:24:53If I'm honest, it always felt slightly self-indulgent.
00:24:55I felt like I should have been doing something more productive.
00:24:56When will your generation learn that one of the most productive things you can do in life is slow down?
00:25:05The only hassle you should be familiar with is the dance.
00:25:09Mm-hmm.
00:25:11Eva, sube la musica!
00:25:13Vale, eh?
00:25:17I used to love that dance.
00:25:20Remember Ernesto?
00:25:22I dare you to join me.
00:25:23Join me.
00:25:29Yeah.
00:25:30Have you never been in a hostel before?
00:25:31I guess not.
00:25:32Oh, well.
00:25:33In that case, here you go.
00:25:37Oh, yeah.
00:25:38You're gonna need those earplugs, trust me.
00:25:39It's...
00:25:40Good night, Monica.
00:25:41Good night.
00:25:42Good night.
00:25:43Hey.
00:25:44Oh, oh, have you never been in a hostel before?
00:25:51I guess not.
00:25:52Oh, well, in that case, here you go.
00:25:58Oh, thank you.
00:26:01Oh, yeah, you're going to need those earplugs, trust me.
00:26:06Good night, Monica.
00:26:08Good night.
00:26:10Hey, just heard the socks went to extra innings.
00:26:13It's one by a run.
00:26:15So cool.
00:26:16I had a two-by-bed.
00:26:19Nice work.
00:26:43Oh, my God.
00:26:49No.
00:26:50No.
00:26:51No.
00:26:51No.
00:26:52List a few things you're thankful for today.
00:27:13I didn't sleep great, but I'm definitely grateful that Consuelo gave me earplugs.
00:27:18Without them, I wouldn't have slept at all.
00:27:19Do you prefer to feel capable or dependent?
00:27:23What situations bring this out the most?
00:27:26Why do I feel like this question was made for me?
00:27:29Capable. Always capable.
00:27:32Depending on someone who feels like admitting defeat.
00:27:35Although I am very grateful that Luis saved my shoe from the ravine.
00:27:38Thought I might find you out here.
00:27:40Oh, good morning.
00:27:41Morning. I'm not interrupting, am I?
00:27:43No, no, no. I was almost done.
00:27:45I'm trying to do a devotional every day to be more mindful.
00:27:51Funny, I also have a list of intentions that I go through every morning.
00:27:55Look at us trying to get the most out of our Camino.
00:27:59At this point, I settle for Maddie thinking I'm not the least cool dad on the planet.
00:28:03What? You brought him to Spain for a month for a backpacking trip. That is pretty cool.
00:28:11Yeah, by backpacking trip, you mean spiritual pilgrimage with Grandpa and Dad.
00:28:15Okay, yep. See what you mean.
00:28:17By the way, coffee's ready. You want to head back?
00:28:20Yes.
00:28:20Yeah.
00:28:21Oh, thank you.
00:28:25Of course.
00:28:29This reminds me of being a kid.
00:28:32It does.
00:28:34Oh, thank you.
00:28:39Oh, this is beautiful.
00:28:42Oh, buenos dias, compañeros.
00:28:45Good morning.
00:28:45Buenos dias.
00:28:46Yes.
00:28:46How did those earplugs work out, Monica?
00:28:51Good.
00:28:52Dad, you really need to start using those nasal strips that I got you?
00:28:55Why would I need to do that?
00:28:57Your mother never once said, as norm.
00:29:00The woman was a saint.
00:29:02Yeah.
00:29:03You put on an entire symphony last night.
00:29:05No, no, no, no, no.
00:29:06You're wrong.
00:29:08It was, at most, two beautiful chords.
00:29:11Hey, let's say a prayer before we go, okay?
00:29:18Claro, Papa.
00:29:19Another one.
00:29:21Look, I'm sorry.
00:29:22It's just, I don't know if I really believe in all that.
00:29:25Okay.
00:29:25More of a reason to pray, then.
00:29:27If you are uncertain, the last thing you should do is close up your conversation with God,
00:29:34especially considering how helpful divine intervention could be with this teenage attitude of yours.
00:29:41Okay, okay.
00:29:42Why don't we all just have a nice little quiet moment of reflection?
00:29:45Reflection is not the same thing as prayer.
00:29:48Yeah.
00:29:50Ernesto, um, my dad always used to say,
00:29:54it's in stillness that we're open to that communication with God.
00:30:01Yeah.
00:30:02Yeah.
00:30:03Do you mind if I join, Neil?
00:30:05No, of course not.
00:30:06Sure.
00:30:06Yeah.
00:30:07Me too.
00:30:08Oh, yes.
00:30:11Well, we take this moment to reflect and to give thanks to God for all our blessings.
00:30:25Thank you, Ernesto.
00:30:28Shall we go?
00:30:29Yes.
00:30:29Claro.
00:30:30Okay.
00:30:33Dad, this old iPod thing is so lame.
00:30:36I don't know any of these bands.
00:30:38What's NSYNC?
00:30:41Oh, NSYNC.
00:30:43You're a big NSYNC fan, huh?
00:30:44I have no idea how that got on there.
00:30:45Why did you let him bring that?
00:30:47He should be listening to the sounds of nature and not drowning it all with music.
00:30:54Dad, he's a teenager.
00:30:56I think it's okay if he listens to some music.
00:30:58Yeah, if you consider Andy DeFranco's feminist poetry as music.
00:31:02It was a weird time.
00:31:05I was going through a breakup.
00:31:08Hey, I'm sorry you feel caught in the middle, but I think you're handling it better than you realize.
00:31:13Oh, I'm trying my best.
00:31:18You know, I used to think I had it all together.
00:31:21This career, parenthood, marriage.
00:31:25Then after the divorce, this feels like I've been chasing this idea of what life's supposed to be and failing miserably.
00:31:38Who tricked us into thinking there was one specific way life had to be?
00:31:43Our parents.
00:31:44Society.
00:31:4590s rom-coms.
00:31:48I mean, Meg, Julia, Sandra.
00:31:51Uh-huh.
00:31:52They all had me convinced that I would be married with kids running an ad agency by the time I was 29.
00:31:59I wasn't always an ad agency.
00:32:01Yeah.
00:32:02Or editor of a magazine.
00:32:04Either of which spoke to me.
00:32:07Did she always know you wanted to be in the medical field?
00:32:10Ever since I was young.
00:32:12And then when I got there, it became my whole life.
00:32:15Until I was passed over for a promotion I thought I was going to get.
00:32:19And then I started to question everything.
00:32:21And I thought I knew my purpose.
00:32:22And then suddenly, I didn't.
00:32:27Well, I think that's because we're told that life follows this, like, linear path.
00:32:32Right?
00:32:33Get the job, meet the person, have a kid, buy the house.
00:32:37It doesn't work that way.
00:32:40You know, you can have it all one moment and then the next.
00:32:42It's just...
00:32:43I'm not even sure I know what having it all means anymore.
00:32:48Me neither.
00:32:49I think I was always so focused on the next great thing.
00:32:53I missed all the great stuff in front of me.
00:32:55I think in the midst of trying to figure it all out, I've done the same.
00:33:03I don't want to live life like that anymore, you know?
00:33:06I don't really want to miss out on all the great things that are happening right in front of me ever again.
00:33:15Wow, this is beautiful.
00:33:16Stunning.
00:33:17I think a break is in order.
00:33:33Who's up for a piece to rest by the river?
00:33:37Oh, me.
00:33:38Bye, I'm.
00:33:38Uh, you guys good on water?
00:33:42Well, I'm running low, but I don't think we can drink that.
00:33:45Oh.
00:33:46You can drink that as long as you got one of these.
00:33:49A little water filter.
00:33:50I could use some water.
00:33:51All right.
00:33:52Yes, sir.
00:33:53Yes, please.
00:33:54I'd love some if you don't mind.
00:33:56Absolutely.
00:33:59Oh, this is perfect.
00:34:02Yes, sir.
00:34:03Not bad.
00:34:03That's really good.
00:34:24Oh, it's nothing.
00:34:26I'm just bored.
00:34:27Oh.
00:34:29So, why did your mom force you to go on Camino?
00:34:31What, the honest answer?
00:34:34I won't tell anybody.
00:34:38I think she's afraid that if she doesn't get me away from work and out of the house,
00:34:43in this case, out of the country,
00:34:46that I'll end up sad and alone and dwelling on a promotion I didn't get.
00:34:52What about you?
00:34:54Kind of the same thing, honestly, but a little bit more in a loner teenager type of way.
00:35:00If you get what I mean.
00:35:01I do get what you mean.
00:35:03I guess we're just a couple of loners forced to exist outside of our comfort zones.
00:35:07You're putting too much pressure on Luis and Mateo.
00:35:25They're not walking the path the exact way you want them to.
00:35:30But that doesn't mean they're lost.
00:35:32The way I was raised was so different from these younger generations.
00:35:38You know, traditions merit.
00:35:41Faith merit.
00:35:42Respect merit.
00:35:43It sounds like what you're upset about is this morning with Mateo.
00:35:48No, no, no, no.
00:35:49It's not only Mateo.
00:35:51It's Luis too.
00:35:53Because he should have shown Mateo how important faith and family are.
00:35:59He brought Mateo here and took a month off from his life to spend it with his father and son.
00:36:08Didn't he?
00:36:09Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:36:10Oh, great.
00:36:26You okay?
00:36:27Yeah, yeah, I'm good.
00:36:28I got it.
00:36:29Here, let me...
00:36:30Oh, no.
00:36:30I'm all right.
00:36:31I can help carry some of that.
00:36:32You know, I like a challenge.
00:36:34Challenge yourself to accept a little help then, huh?
00:36:36You don't always have to carry everything on your own.
00:36:42Okay.
00:36:44You know, I could carry something too.
00:36:47You sure?
00:36:48Yeah.
00:36:48Oh, yeah, look at this kid.
00:36:50He is in great shape.
00:36:51Gonna be on the football team next year.
00:36:53Stuff to make the team, then.
00:36:54It's not gonna be a problem, buddy.
00:36:59Is this an espresso maker?
00:37:01Yeah.
00:37:02That is for everybody.
00:37:04Because nobody wants to see me without coffee.
00:37:08Hey, thank you both.
00:37:11I guess I did pack a little too much luggage.
00:37:14Me, me, me.
00:37:15That's not luggage.
00:37:17That's baggage.
00:37:21Yeah.
00:37:22Her and her one-liners.
00:37:24I know.
00:37:24She is quite the comedian.
00:37:31She's better.
00:37:32Much better, right?
00:37:34Yeah.
00:37:35Come on, kid.
00:37:35When we feel exhausted and overworked, tell me about it.
00:37:51Have you experienced emotional exhaustion?
00:37:54Do you notice a difference when you take a step back emotionally and ask God to take the weight off your shoulders?
00:38:00To be honest, trusting doesn't come naturally to me.
00:38:09To be honest, trusting doesn't come naturally to me.
00:38:09But learning is not about carrying less.
00:38:19It's about not carrying it alone.
00:38:24Well, list a few things you're thankful for today.
00:38:30The kindness of strangers.
00:38:33The beauty of slowing down.
00:38:36You, you...
00:38:37And remembering parts of myself I'd forgotten.
00:38:40Wow.
00:38:41Wow.
00:38:43Mom and Dad.
00:38:56You were right here.
00:39:22This inn has private rooms.
00:39:49Oh, so there'll be no snoring tonight.
00:39:53Just in Ernesto's room.
00:39:56Okay, okay, okay.
00:39:57What's the bad news?
00:39:59It's not necessarily bad.
00:40:00So far, all the inns we've stayed at have provided meals.
00:40:05But this one does not.
00:40:07Is there a restaurant nearby?
00:40:09Actually, it's the customer at this inn that pilgrims cook together.
00:40:14And cooking together can be as much a part of the journey as the walking.
00:40:19Wow.
00:40:25Oh.
00:40:28Okay, um, so the only thing is I barely know how to boil water.
00:40:33Yeah, yeah.
00:40:34And my cooking is, uh, microwaving pizzas.
00:40:38Somehow he even burns those.
00:40:39I'm really the only one who cooks here?
00:40:43No, no, no.
00:40:44I might be able to help.
00:40:46Oh.
00:40:47Yeah, well, uh, it seems we have, uh, the standard gambas, the gambas in the fridge.
00:40:53Okay, there they are.
00:40:55I think we have everything we need for paella.
00:40:58Wait, wait.
00:40:59¿Sabes cocinar paella, Papa?
00:41:00Yes.
00:41:02How could I not pick up a thing or two?
00:41:04What's in your mother?
00:41:05Hold those ears.
00:41:07Come on.
00:41:08Vámonos.
00:41:09Vámonos.
00:41:09Cortes de zanahorias.
00:41:10Okay.
00:41:11I can wash some things.
00:41:12Yeah.
00:41:13Give me a glass.
00:41:17Mmm.
00:41:19Dad, how's this the first time I'm ever tasting you're cooking?
00:41:23It really is incredible, Ernesto.
00:41:25Five stars.
00:41:26Yeah.
00:41:27It's clear you have a natural gift.
00:41:29When I was younger, cooking wasn't seen, you know, as a man's thing, especially in my father's eyes.
00:41:39But I secretly always loved it.
00:41:44I, um, I get it.
00:41:45Sometimes the things that we, um, care about aren't the things that we feel that we're supposed to care about.
00:41:52Theoretically, I mean, um, Abuelo, you should open your own restaurant.
00:41:56Well, you are too kind, Matteo.
00:42:00But, uh, well, I'm grateful to have the chance to explore it here in the Camino.
00:42:06Better late than never.
00:42:08Hmm, if there are even a time to explore something you've been hesitant about, it's definitely on the Camino.
00:42:16Now, I'm starting to see why people love this.
00:42:29The walking, the slowing down.
00:42:32I have to admit, this trip has definitely softened the blow of the promotion.
00:42:36I mean, I don't know if I would say it was for the best that I didn't get it, but maybe it's not the worst thing.
00:42:43Well, considering you might not have come on the Camino otherwise, in my professional opinion, of course, um, I definitely think it was for the best.
00:42:52Everyone, today would be a good day to start looking for your stone for the Cruz de Ferro.
00:43:02The, the Cruz de Ferro?
00:43:04Mm-hmm.
00:43:04Ah, yeah, it's, uh, it's this place where many pilgrims leave their burdens, things that no longer serve them.
00:43:11Regrets, fears, anything weighing you down?
00:43:13Yeah, it's a very powerful tradition.
00:43:17Everyone who walks the Camino has something they need to release.
00:43:22Yeah, it's, it's a way of starting fresh.
00:43:24So you just pick up any stone?
00:43:26How do you know if it's the right one?
00:43:28Does it have to be a stone?
00:43:29Uh, not necessarily.
00:43:31It just has to be something that can represent what you're letting go.
00:43:36When you find the right one or the right thing, you will know.
00:43:42Yes?
00:43:44Okay, let's go.
00:43:57Oh.
00:43:59Believe it or not, I found a tiny little espresso.
00:44:04Whoa, whoa.
00:44:05Everything okay?
00:44:06No, I can't find my devotional.
00:44:08I, I think I left it in the last inn.
00:44:13It's, it's really important to me because it's the last thing my dad gave me before he passed.
00:44:19Oh, I'm sorry.
00:44:23Well, hey, let's, let's go back and get it.
00:44:25Well, we can't walk back all that way.
00:44:28We can't backtrack that far.
00:44:32Leave me to it.
00:44:33Uber, for Monica.
00:44:44What?
00:44:45No, just because you're my dad does not mean you get to make so many dad jokes.
00:44:48We can help you, Mateo.
00:44:51Once you become a dad, that jokes comes with the job.
00:44:55Yeah, he's right, you know.
00:44:57So, okay, I think we, uh, we'll head back to the inn.
00:45:01We'll grab the devotional.
00:45:02And, uh, we should be back right after sunset.
00:45:04We'll see you guys.
00:45:09All right.
00:45:11Buen camino.
00:45:11Oh, when the night's getting cold, I'll be the one that I hope.
00:45:18This was definitely unexpected.
00:45:21It's a nice change from all that walking, huh?
00:45:23Oh, thank you.
00:45:53It's like we were just here.
00:46:04Yeah, it doesn't look good.
00:46:07Here you go.
00:46:08Oh, gracias.
00:46:10Ah, you won't let go.
00:46:12Buen camino.
00:46:13Oh, gracias.
00:46:15Are you guys okay?
00:46:16Yeah, no, we're good.
00:46:17We're just, uh, hiding out at the inn.
00:46:20You guys think you'll be back?
00:46:21Actually, that's why I'm calling.
00:46:23Um, the storm's a little too intense to try to get back tonight, so it looks like we're
00:46:28going to have to stay here tonight.
00:46:30They're going to stay at the inn.
00:46:31They're going to wait out the storm.
00:46:33Let's call us the best.
00:46:34All right, Dad.
00:46:34We all think that's a good idea.
00:46:35Oh, also, where are the extra earplugs?
00:46:37They're up in my pack.
00:46:38Um, I think the outer zipper.
00:46:41All right.
00:46:41Thanks, Dad.
00:46:41I'll, uh, see you bright and early.
00:46:43All right.
00:46:44Bye.
00:46:44Intentions for the Camino.
00:47:09Connect on a deeper level with Mateo.
00:47:15Bond with my family and help the three of us connect.
00:47:19Become the best man and father that I can be.
00:47:21Uh, Mateo, did you find those earplugs?
00:47:31Yeah, yeah.
00:47:31Give me a pair of those because, you know, between you and me, I think my snoring is even
00:47:39waking me up at this time.
00:47:48Ah.
00:47:49Oh.
00:47:50Whoa.
00:47:51Okay.
00:47:51We're, uh, were you, like, in a checker league or something?
00:47:55Second grade champion, actually.
00:47:57Wow.
00:47:58How is that not what you lead with when you first meet someone?
00:48:01Well, I don't like to intimidate people before they get to know me.
00:48:04Trust me.
00:48:04The moment somebody meets you, they're already intimidated.
00:48:07Me intimidating?
00:48:08I find that hard to imagine.
00:48:10Well, if anyone here is intimidating, it's you, Mr. Handsome Prince Charming, who rides
00:48:15up on a horse to save the day.
00:48:17Whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:48:17Handsome Prince Charming, you say?
00:48:24It's not every day you're picked up on horseback.
00:48:27I know it's definitely a first for me.
00:48:32I hope it's not the last.
00:48:33Oh, I am glad we're not riding home in that weather.
00:48:42Yeah, it's definitely not worth the risk.
00:48:45It's funny how risk seemed so much easier when we were younger.
00:48:49Well, it's because we didn't overthink things.
00:48:52No, we just kind of jumped in.
00:48:55I trusted that it'd all work out somehow.
00:48:58I used to be so brave.
00:49:01Life just flowed so easily.
00:49:04What changed?
00:49:07My dad passing away.
00:49:11He was my best friend.
00:49:12And when he was gone, everything seemed out of control, so I dove into work to distract
00:49:21myself.
00:49:22I'm truly sorry, Monica.
00:49:28Um, I do think it's really sweet that you guys were so close, though.
00:49:35What was his name?
00:49:38Jack Miller.
00:49:40Good name.
00:49:41Oh, yes.
00:49:43He was the kind of guy that reminded people not just to live life, but really, truly enjoy
00:49:49it.
00:49:51I miss him every day.
00:49:54So thank you so much for helping me find the devotional.
00:49:58Oh, of course.
00:50:01You know, for the record, I think you're still pretty brave.
00:50:06You're out here walking the Camino all on your own.
00:50:09Well, it's hardly on my own.
00:50:11Your dad's snoring won't let me forget that.
00:50:15Yeah, but thank you.
00:50:17I am trying to be brave.
00:50:22But I'm realizing that takes trust, and that's not something I'm very good at anymore.
00:50:28I get it.
00:50:29I mean, surrendering to something greater than yourself when your life is out of control,
00:50:37it's incredibly challenging.
00:50:40Really?
00:50:42Really?
00:50:42You always seem to go with the flow so easily.
00:50:46No, not at all.
00:50:48Are you kidding me?
00:50:50I micromanage my family like it's a full-time job.
00:50:53You're being too hard on yourself.
00:50:55You're doing the best you can.
00:50:57It's all you can do.
00:50:59Thanks.
00:51:00Nothing like the Camino to, uh, highlight all your flaws, huh?
00:51:07If we're putting it all out on the table.
00:51:09I think you're pretty great.
00:51:16Laws and all.
00:51:17I think you're pretty great, too.
00:51:29Sorry about that.
00:51:40The storm is quite passionate tonight.
00:51:43Here, take this candle with you to your room.
00:51:49Uh, muchas gracias, but, um, it's separate rooms.
00:51:52Okay.
00:51:53Muchas gracias.
00:51:55I have to go.
00:51:56Uh, we should probably get some sleep.
00:52:05I'll walk you to your room.
00:52:26Do you want to go first?
00:52:54I'm letting go of the need to control everything.
00:53:07I'm choosing to trust and surrender.
00:53:09I spent my life trying to guide my son and grandson.
00:53:34Well, believing that I always knew the right way to do it.
00:53:41Well, now, today, I'm letting go of my judgments.
00:53:47Trust in the path they choose.
00:53:50I'm leaving behind my phone.
00:54:07If that's okay with you, Dad, since it's technically yours.
00:54:10It's fine with me.
00:54:12Are you sure?
00:54:13Yeah, I'm sure.
00:54:16I want to be present and, um, and connect with you guys.
00:54:20I come here often and most times I leave behind the same things.
00:54:37Small worries or doubts, small worries or doubts.
00:54:40It's a weight of trying to have everything figured out.
00:54:44But today I leave behind the fear I didn't even realize I had of letting someone back into my heart.
00:54:55I've been letting go of this guilt that I've carried for far too long of not being enough.
00:55:14As a father, as a son, but I'm also choosing to trust and surrender.
00:55:28Well, it's all downhill from here.
00:55:49Hiking-wise, I mean.
00:55:53We've got a bit of a trek back down to the main path.
00:55:58Let's go.
00:55:58We've got a trek back down to the main path.
00:56:28Maria, mi prima favorita.
00:56:33This cannot be.
00:56:35Yeah, little Luis, he's all grown up and he has a son, Mateo.
00:56:41Oh, I remember you as a boy running around in the dirt, playing football, dreaming of being an American football player.
00:56:52Ah, sí.
00:56:52Ah, sí.
00:56:53That's right.
00:56:53You have a good memory, Maria.
00:56:56It's nice to see you.
00:56:57You don't forget family.
00:56:58No matter how many years pass.
00:57:01Bienvenidos todos.
00:57:02There are some kids over there playing football if you want to join them.
00:57:12Thanks.
00:57:13Hey, Maria.
00:57:15You don't really like sports, do you?
00:57:23You want the real answer?
00:57:26Yeah, I won't tell anyone.
00:57:27Not at all.
00:57:30I can't tell it to my dad.
00:57:32See, how often he tries to talk to me about it?
00:57:34Um, I think maybe he's just trying to connect with you however he can.
00:57:40Then why doesn't he ask me what I like?
00:57:42What I'm passionate about?
00:57:43Oh, that is a very good question.
00:57:47Um, give him a chance.
00:57:49He might surprise you.
00:57:52You, Levi, grew up here?
00:57:54Yeah, it's so different from Boston, but I kind of love it.
00:57:58Yeah, well, maybe you'll spend some more time here someday, huh?
00:58:00My school actually has a summer immersion program where he's been.
00:58:03Oh, really?
00:58:03Yeah.
00:58:04Well, hey, look, as long as it doesn't conflict with football practice,
00:58:07maybe we sign you up for that, huh?
00:58:11Hold on, what?
00:58:12What's going on?
00:58:16Jess, I don't want to play football anymore, Dad.
00:58:21We've been talking about this since, like, middle school, Matty.
00:58:24I know, but it's only because you've always brought it up.
00:58:26The truth is, I don't like sports.
00:58:30I never have.
00:58:31It's always been your thing.
00:58:33Wow.
00:58:34Okay, um...
00:58:36I am sorry if I put that on you.
00:58:40Okay?
00:58:40I just...
00:58:41I guess I just thought that if we had something in common,
00:58:44then it'd be a little easier for us.
00:58:47Yeah, I get that.
00:58:48Abolo kind of tries to do the same thing.
00:58:51It does, doesn't it?
00:58:54Yeah, I guess, uh...
00:58:56Well, we have a habit of trying to pass down what we know
00:59:00instead of actually listening to what our sons want.
00:59:06But you know what?
00:59:07That stops here.
00:59:09What are you passionate about?
00:59:10Okay, um...
00:59:15Art.
00:59:19I've been drawing and painting for a while now.
00:59:22Art?
00:59:22Art, that's incredible.
00:59:24Do you mean it?
00:59:25Absolutely.
00:59:26I want you to know that I love you.
00:59:29Okay?
00:59:29For exactly who you are, whatever it is you love.
00:59:33I...
00:59:33I love you.
00:59:36Okay?
00:59:38Okay.
00:59:38Come here.
00:59:54Thanks for having the courage to share that with me.
00:59:55Yeah, well, I had a little hope.
00:59:57There's so much to see.
01:00:25What is everyone thinking?
01:00:27I'd like to find a gift for my mom.
01:00:29Oh, would you, uh...
01:00:30Like a translator for the Mercado?
01:00:32I'd love that.
01:00:34Maddie, you want to join us?
01:00:36Actually, I think I'm going to go check out the, um...
01:00:38Artists' area.
01:00:39We can thank you there.
01:00:41All right, thanks.
01:00:42I'm looking forward to seeing you for dinner tonight.
01:00:46See you later, Maria.
01:00:46See you later, Maria.
01:00:47What day are we going to see at home?
01:00:49At 18.
01:00:51Okay.
01:00:5218?
01:00:52Yeah, 6 p.m.
01:00:53What's the plan?
01:00:54Oh, we're meeting back at the house at, like, 8.
01:01:01It's good work.
01:01:02Yeah, it's very cute.
01:01:05Yes.
01:01:08Oh, wow.
01:01:10Okay, this is not right for her, but this is stunning.
01:01:13Oh, you should totally try that on.
01:01:15Oh, I don't know.
01:01:17I feel silly trying it on by myself.
01:01:21I can help with that.
01:01:24Yeah?
01:01:25Yeah.
01:01:26Okay.
01:01:27Come on.
01:01:34This is crazy.
01:01:35I've never seen anything like it.
01:01:37I didn't realize you like art, Matteo.
01:01:40You know, my mother was an artist.
01:01:41Yeah, she came here all the time for inspiration.
01:01:45Who knows?
01:01:46Maybe you'll find some inspiration here, too.
01:01:49Of course.
01:01:53Wow.
01:01:54Um, you look...
01:01:58I have no words.
01:02:02Look, you look very handsome yourself.
01:02:05Oh, right.
01:02:06You should get that.
01:02:08Oh, I love it, but it's not practical.
01:02:11You never know when you might need a fancy dress.
01:02:15Oh.
01:02:16Yeah, you never know when an elegant dress is going to come in handy on the Camino.
01:02:20Fair point.
01:02:21So, just thinking about what to get my mom, do you have any other ideas of places?
01:02:28She's busy.
01:02:29Uh, yeah, you know, I think I might know just the place.
01:02:35Gracias.
01:02:35Okay, so, for something truly unique for your mom, I was thinking this might be the place.
01:02:47Pottery studio.
01:02:49Huh?
01:02:49You remembered.
01:02:50Of course I did.
01:02:53You gonna join me?
01:02:56Yeah.
01:02:57I mean, as long as, you know, my, uh, skills don't intimidate you.
01:03:01Oh, we will see.
01:03:03Uh-huh.
01:03:03Okay, so, this is a little harder than it looks.
01:03:12Don't worry, you'll get it.
01:03:16Like, at this point, do you, do you know exactly what you're making, or?
01:03:20Honestly, no.
01:03:21I know.
01:03:22It is hard to believe I don't have a plan.
01:03:24But I just kind of get started and see where it takes me.
01:03:28Uh-oh.
01:03:34Okay.
01:03:34I think I'm doing something wrong.
01:03:36Let me help you.
01:03:37Okay, so.
01:03:38Okay, wait, wait, wait.
01:03:38No, no, slow down, slow down.
01:03:39Okay.
01:03:47The symbol of the Camino.
01:03:52Okay, that's impressive.
01:03:55Um, I gotta admit, I, I kind of envisioned a coffee cup from the beginning.
01:04:02Look, it seemed approachable.
01:04:04It has character.
01:04:08Do you want to grab some tapas before dinner?
01:04:11I'd love to.
01:04:13As long as you don't mind me covered in clay.
01:04:18Might have a solution.
01:04:20I can't believe you bought it.
01:04:27Yeah, I just thought you deserved a gift, too.
01:04:34I guess it is more practical than I thought.
01:04:36You have a lovely family home, Ernesto.
01:04:49Gracias, gracias.
01:04:50See, but, you know, I've been wondering something.
01:04:54Well, when you mention it, let him someone back into your heart.
01:04:59By chance.
01:05:00What are you referring to me?
01:05:05You, you drive me absolutely crazy.
01:05:09But yes, I was referring to you.
01:05:12You drive me absolutely crazy, too.
01:05:15But yeah, each morning, when I go outside to begin to walk,
01:05:21I feel, I feel full of hope.
01:05:24And, and, and, and my heart skips a bit when I see you.
01:05:29Oh.
01:05:30Well, maybe it's a start of something new.
01:05:35La, la, la, la, la, la, la.
01:05:37Salam.
01:05:42Mmm.
01:05:44It's nice.
01:05:45Today was fun.
01:05:46Your scallop shell was so good.
01:05:49Well, I wanted to do it, not just because of the Camino,
01:05:53but since my parents met here,
01:05:55it feels like a symbol of their love.
01:05:57That's beautiful.
01:05:59Your mom's gonna love it.
01:06:00My dad always said that them meeting here
01:06:02felt like part of a greater plan.
01:06:05He always had such a strong faith.
01:06:07Yeah, your dad sounds like such a great guy.
01:06:09I wish I could have met him.
01:06:11He would have loved you.
01:06:15What about you?
01:06:17What do you think of me?
01:06:19Are we playing truth or dare again?
01:06:23Or when?
01:06:24Verdad or retros?
01:06:26Oh.
01:06:27Muy bien.
01:06:28Yes.
01:06:29Yeah, actually.
01:06:30Um.
01:06:33I dare you to dance with me.
01:06:34No one else is dancing.
01:06:36And if everyone thought that way,
01:06:38no one ever would.
01:06:39Somebody has to get this started, right?
01:06:41True.
01:06:41Come on.
01:06:47Of course.
01:06:48Oh.
01:06:53Hey, Abolo.
01:06:54Oh.
01:06:55Sorry.
01:06:56No, no, no.
01:06:57You don't need to apologize.
01:06:59I was wondering where dad was.
01:07:00He's almost an hour late.
01:07:01I think he'll be here soon.
01:07:03I think I might go look for him while you guys eat.
01:07:05He'll be fine.
01:07:06I just want to make sure he's okay.
01:07:08Okay, okay.
01:07:09Go, go, go.
01:07:12Someone told me once,
01:07:13love is to enter into another's chaos
01:07:17and let them into your own.
01:07:19No wonder it feels so risky.
01:07:21The thing is, Monica,
01:07:23you make the risk feel worth it.
01:07:30I am so thankful
01:07:33that God brought you into my life.
01:07:38Really?
01:07:40Yeah.
01:07:41Meeting you on this Camino
01:07:42has been one of the highlights of my life.
01:07:47Ted.
01:07:48What are you doing?
01:07:50Uh, Mateo.
01:07:51Seriously.
01:07:52This is why you're late.
01:07:53But, no, late.
01:07:54It was supposed to be 8 o'clock.
01:07:55It was 6.
01:07:56I thought this trip was supposed to be about us.
01:07:58Maddie, we didn't know that about the...
01:08:00No offense, Monica,
01:08:01but this is between me and my dad.
01:08:02Okay, let's talk.
01:08:04Right?
01:08:06I'll be right back.
01:08:07Okay.
01:08:13Meeting Monica was one of the highlights of your life?
01:08:16I know how that must have sounded,
01:08:17but, Maddie, you are the most important thing to me.
01:08:20Really?
01:08:20Because it seems like
01:08:21when someone else just comes into your life,
01:08:24you just leave me behind.
01:08:25No, no, buddy, that is not true.
01:08:27You are my first priority.
01:08:29That will never, ever change.
01:08:30No, I just don't get it.
01:08:31Are you and Monica a thing?
01:08:34I don't know.
01:08:36But that doesn't matter right now, okay?
01:08:38You are the only thing that matters right now.
01:08:41Nothing else does.
01:08:42I'll meet you back at the house.
01:08:43I need to think.
01:08:44Maddie.
01:08:45Oh.
01:08:47Maddie.
01:08:48I've really messed this up with Maddie, with you.
01:09:02No, Maddie will come around.
01:09:04He loves you.
01:09:05And as for us, he's right.
01:09:08This trip was supposed to be about you and your family,
01:09:11and I became a distraction.
01:09:13No, Monica, you are not a distraction.
01:09:16This Camino has been more than I ever expected,
01:09:19and that's because of you.
01:09:22I can fix this.
01:09:24There's a way to make everybody happy.
01:09:25I don't want to be another person you need to make happy.
01:09:30I would give anything for another date with my dad.
01:09:35Anything.
01:09:36And I don't want to take...
01:09:37I don't want to take that from Maddie, so...
01:09:40I think I should, um...
01:09:43I think I should finish the Camino on my own.
01:09:47Monica.
01:09:48It's the right thing.
01:09:59Wait, Camino.
01:10:00No.
01:10:13Monica, I saw your note.
01:10:24Yeah.
01:10:26Um, thank you for everything, but I...
01:10:28I realize I need to finish this last leg of the Santiago by myself.
01:10:32Get a plane ticket home and go back to normal life.
01:10:35I've done what I came here to do.
01:10:37Have you?
01:10:37I'm not quitting.
01:10:39I'm just finishing on my own.
01:10:41Quite a few pilgrims choose to finish the law.
01:10:45It can be rewarding if it's done.
01:10:48Out of freedom, not fear.
01:10:50What makes you think I'm afraid?
01:10:51You've let go of so much here.
01:10:54What about the things you're afraid to hold on to?
01:10:58That's part of the Camino, too.
01:11:00It's for the best.
01:11:02My presence here wasn't helping.
01:11:04You must follow your conscience, querida.
01:11:09But may I offer one last piece of advice as your guide?
01:11:15For some pilgrims, Santiago is in the end.
01:11:19Many continue to finish terra.
01:11:23What's that?
01:11:23But it's where the Camino meets the ocean.
01:11:28The final step on the journey.
01:11:30If your Camino isn't done, you will know.
01:11:37Thank you for everything.
01:11:38Buen Camino, Mónica.
01:11:55Buen Camino, Consuelo.
01:11:57Dad?
01:12:16Can we talk?
01:12:19Yeah.
01:12:20Yeah, sure, buddy.
01:12:23What is it?
01:12:24What?
01:12:27I've been thinking about you and Mónica.
01:12:33The past few weeks, I've seen you happier than I've seen you a very long time.
01:12:39I have been.
01:12:42It's been great to be around my family.
01:12:46I just want to say I get it.
01:12:48I get that Mónica made you happy.
01:12:52She's cool.
01:12:53I understand why you like her.
01:12:57I guess what I'm trying to say is, I trust you, Dad.
01:13:04Maddie, come here.
01:13:09That means more than you know.
01:13:14But I guess it just wasn't meant to be.
01:13:17Breakfast will be ready in five minutes.
01:13:26What's this?
01:13:27Oh.
01:13:29Do you remember I told you we would host some pilgrims here?
01:13:33My family always try to take photos of our guests to remember them by.
01:13:38So, I'm very sure that in this box, there are some photos of your father.
01:13:46Oh, my God.
01:13:52Oh, Lucia D'Alba.
01:13:54Well, it's 2018.
01:14:02What?
01:14:03I think that's Mónica's parents.
01:14:06What?
01:14:07Jack.
01:14:08Olivia.
01:14:10And this.
01:14:11It's me.
01:14:12I made it.
01:14:37I made it.
01:14:37Santiago Cathedral.
01:14:52I still don't know if I really understand all this, you know, the prayers.
01:15:13You and me too, Mateo.
01:15:15You know, the opposite of faith is not doubt, it's certainty.
01:15:19You know, Dad always says that.
01:15:24Oh, yeah? Let's hear it.
01:15:26I guess he's passed on more lessons than we thought.
01:15:28Okay.
01:15:42You mind if I join you?
01:15:44Um, pray?
01:15:46Of course, man.
01:15:49Lord, we thank you for getting us safely here.
01:15:55And we thank you for my son, Luis, and the wisdom he taught his son that I cannot maybe understand in the right way.
01:16:07It's her.
01:16:17It's her.
01:16:17Dad, do you love me?
01:16:37Yeah, Mary, I think I do.
01:16:38You think or you know?
01:16:40Well, there's a light that's waiting up ahead.
01:16:46So I'll stay in the fight and look to the one who said.
01:16:51What now?
01:16:53Hold on just a little bit longer.
01:16:56I know it's gonna be okay.
01:16:59Who is the most courageous person you know?
01:17:06You are, Monica.
01:17:08I couldn't help but answer this one myself.
01:17:10Love, Dad.
01:17:11And we have to find her.
01:17:38She's probably on her way to the airport by now.
01:17:40Perhaps, but I don't think that's where she's going.
01:17:44What do you mean?
01:17:45My guess is she hasn't finished walking yet.
01:17:49You think she's on her way to Finisterre?
01:17:51Mm-hmm.
01:17:52That's where I gotta go.
01:17:54Mm-hmm.
01:17:55So I'll stay in the fight and look to the one who said.
01:18:03Hold on just a little bit longer.
01:18:07I know it's gonna be okay.
01:18:10These days are gonna make you stronger.
01:18:14You'll find purpose in the pain.
01:18:17Hold on just a little bit longer.
01:18:21Deep down there's no way of pain.
01:18:24Let hope arise as you're lifting up my name.
01:18:30And just hold on.
01:18:35Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on.
01:18:46Wait till you see what's at the end of the road.
01:18:53A new life is ready to unfold.
01:18:58Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on.
01:19:00Hold on just a little bit longer.
01:19:03I know it's gonna be okay.
01:19:07These days are gonna make you stronger.
01:19:10You'll find purpose in the pain.
01:19:14Hold on just a little bit longer.
01:19:18Deep down there's no way of pain.
01:19:21Let hope arise as you're lifting up my name.
01:19:26And just hold on.
01:19:28Hold on, hold on, hold on.
01:19:41Just a little bit longer.
01:19:48Just a little bit longer.
01:19:51Just a little bit longer.
01:19:55God, I've spent so much of my life trying to control everything.
01:20:07And out here you've taught me the grace of letting go.
01:20:15I see you in the kindness of strangers and the beauty of nature.
01:20:24And even in the pain of the climb.
01:20:26You were here all along just waiting for me to notice.
01:20:29I don't have the answers.
01:20:35But I trust now that I don't need to.
01:20:42I just need to keep walking.
01:20:45Step by step.
01:20:49Knowing I'll never be alone.
01:20:51Monica.
01:20:57What?
01:21:02What are you doing here?
01:21:03I had a hunch you might have rerouted here.
01:21:05She might have rerouted here.
01:21:06No.
01:21:17You still think us meeting was a coincidence?
01:21:19But how?
01:21:20That baby right there is mean.
01:21:21Your parents, they stayed at our house during their pilgrimage.
01:21:26So you did meet my dad?
01:21:27It looks like we got along.
01:21:28It looks like we got along.
01:21:29I don't know that I believe in coincidences anymore.
01:21:31Oh, I stopped believing in those the moment I met you.
01:21:33Walking this last part of the path alone proved to myself I could do it.
01:21:51And I did.
01:21:54The entire time I thought how much better it is with you by my side.
01:22:02then let's keep walking together you and me
01:22:07i want to make you happy not because i have to because i want to
01:22:26you didn't think that we actually let you finish this without us did you
01:22:29it only makes sense that we ended together
01:22:35as a family couldn't agree more
01:22:40i remember your parents monica you do yeah they were the ones who first told me about boston
01:22:50and eight years later we moved there
01:22:54what did i tell you the camino gives each person what they need
01:23:03i think it gave each of us exactly what we were looking for
01:23:09so
01:23:16so
01:23:21so
01:23:24To be continued...
01:23:54To be continued...
