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!

Cahors

Have been listening to cuckoos along the trail. Spent much of the past two days on rocky limestone trails that are original Roman roads--not kind to the feet! When we are on asphalt we spend time picking our way around myriad snails, slugs and earthworms. We have come more than 340 kilometers so far. We are sleeping ten hours at night and seem to need every minute of it.

Cindy*s Achilles tendons have been causing her some concern and she spent a couple days tottering about but is on the mend, her speed increasing and no apparent pain. I don*t have a time limit so I will attempt some pics.


Alas it won*t read my card. I*ll try to figure a workaround soon. We plan a rest day in Moissac on Saturday and will, hopefully, find Jack again.

Have I mentioned how much the French like their bread???

    Say "Hi" to Cindy for us!
