They say that the journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. The beginning of our 500-mile journey began with a casual comment from a friend and a description of someone else’s journey.
Atlanta to Pamplona
Transatlantic travel is exciting but tiring…however Spain is beautiful and welcoming. Excited to get.to SJPP tomorrow and begin our Camino on Wednesday!
St. Jean Pied de Port
Enchanting city which we would love to revisit, and the starting point of our pilgrimage to Santiago. Hard to believe we’re here!
SJPP to Roncesvalles
The only word for the climb over the Pyranees is Awe-Inspiring!
Roncesvalles to Zubiri
Day 2 and there are kilometers yet to go! Easier walking…or so we thought!
Zubiri to Pamplona
Long, tiring day, limping along with a bad knee. Bright spot is Darko and Mai!
Puente la Reina & Estella
Dale makes it to the top–Alto del Perdon–where the way of the Wind crosses the way of the Stars. A lost wallet creates some panic.
Estella to Los Arcos
Back on the road with restorative wine from the monks, walk throught the woods, and a good first day back on the trail.
