Pouring down rain this morning--we were glad we had decided on a rest day! Tomorrow's weather doesn't look a whole lot better, but we've exhausted all rest and entertainment possibilities here and are ready to move on. Cindy is walking better and with less pain, thanks to the ministrations of the magic oriental accu-pressure guy who worked on her last night.
We have entered Basque country so the names of the towns have a whole lot more Xs, Zs, and Ks in them. We'll be in Spain by this time tomorrow and I will be able to understand (hopefully) more than 15% of a conversation, I can quit saying BONJOUR, shops will be open on Mondays and....well, Cindy told me to use some restraint in my rant so I'll stop there. Mostly I'm just tired to the bone and now that it's 3:00 we should be able to get back into the gite to nap.
My sister had successful hip replacement surgery yesterday and should go home today or tomorrow. I dedicate our crossing of the Pyrenees tomorrow to her swift recovery.
Buen camino!
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!
