Buen Camino!
We began our trek this morning after breakfast of hot chocolate, yogurt, croissant. At 7:30 I was walking through St Jean's on my way to Roncevalles a 25 km walk that is mostly strenuous and uphill. It was much more challenging than I had imagined. I arrived at Orisson at 11:30 which was a 700 meter climb. My heart had been racing with the climb plus the more than 20 pounds that I am carrying.
I decided to be wise and ask for help to travel the remaining 17 km to Roncevalles. When I arrived before the others, I booked rooms for all 5 of us at the Albergue. I ate a salmon lunch with red wine sitting in the sunshine to warm up and dry out the sweat-wet clothes.....
