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!

Lauzert...and lost!

We've had two days without rain, but the trails are still muddy. An email from our friend Jacques, who is a day ahead of us, warned us to get reservations in Lascaban because they were turning people away when he was there. So our host in Cahors called for a reservation on an alternate route (Lascaban was already full!) and we spent a lovely evening with ten others at a communal meal.

This morning Cindy and I made a wrong turn and ended up 3k DOWNHILL from where we were supposed to be--yikes! So I (bravely, with bad French) knocked on a door which was answered by a man in a bathrobe.

Others are waiting for the computer--to be continued...
