''It's really hard to see your parents as real people,' and I think the inverse is true, so the journey was an effort to see each other for who we are.'
"I was in a very different place in my life," McCarthy said of the first time he walked Spain when he was younger."I was alone in the world. I had no kids and I had just [had] all that early fame with the Brat Pack stuff so I was also finding my own feet. It really helped me do that and I just thought it might be nice, as Sam was growing, to rewrite our relationship a bit -- not having it be so parent-child as opposed to two equal adults, to establish what that might be like.
Spending time together every day meant seeing"the good, bad and the ugly" and Sam confirmed his father is"incredibly impatient.""If he’s waiting in a line, he'll just have a panic attack. But on the inverse of that, he was incredibly patient with me," he credited."He listened to me talk about whatever was on my mind for hours a day, would wait for me to get out of bed -- not that he didn’t put up with me before.
"I mention this in the book; we were in Wyoming... You were about eight or nine. A waitress came up and recognized me and wanted to take pictures," McCarthy said, recalling a memory with his son."It was all very embarrassing and afterwards I said to Sam, 'Well, was that OK for you, Sam?' And he said, 'Oh, Dad, I was so proud.' At that instant I realized I'd done everything wrong by hiding this huge part of my life from my kids.
