St.Jean Pied de Port, France
We spent a quick overnight in Pamplona, Spain and explored a bit of the city where the running of the bulls occurs every year. Pamplona is a very nice town and I wish we has more time to explore. However, we had to wash some clothes in the AirBnB using a combo washer/dryer which took a mere 3 hours per load. We haven’t come very far in the 21st century with some technology. Today, we took the noon bus to St. Jean Pied de Port, France where we will start our Camino tomorrow morning. The first day is the most difficult as we have to walk over the Pyrenees. We met a funny young couple from Detroit while waiting in line to get our Camino credential, which is the book we use to collect stamps while walking the 500 miles to Santiago de Compostela. This is used to prove that we walked each stage of the Camino. St. Jean was a bit cold and rainy today, but it looks like it may get near 70 degrees tomorrow with rain clearing. We are exhausted from all of the traveling getting here and will spend an early night back at the hotel. The real adventure starts tomorrow. A few more pics from the last two days:
