The Walk, 2014

In the fall of 2013, Tom walked the Camino de Santiago de Compostela from St. Jean de Pied in southwestern France to Santiago in northwestern Spain. We decided to do it together in 2014, along with our friend Cindy, and starting 500 miles further east in Le Puy, France. This historic pilgrimage route is walked annually by thousands of people...and now we count ourselves among them.

We aren't taking any "technology" with us, so we'll be using public pay-by-the-hour computers with strangely arranged keyboards and (perhaps) slow Internet access. But we'll attempt to post regularly.

Buen camino!

Bonjour...working on a borrowed computer with a french keyboard and slow internet. We are better than well--it has been an amazing trip so far. We have walked 37 miles in three days through a picture-perfect springtime: fruit trees are blooming, lilacs, buttercups, violets. Our first night was in Montbonnet where we met a mother-daughter from Germany, a mother-son (he is 12) from France and another single woman from France: a raucous good tome. Weleft them behind the next day by walking 15 miles--a hard day but good food and great hostels. Must return this computer. More later (and photos I hope). Last night was Sagues, tonight is Le Sauvage.

    Just wanted to let you know that I'm following this blog. I'd love to hear more about your trip. What is the weather like? Are you on rough trail, or better walking paths? Just on back roads?
