Zubiri - Aug. 30th

Camino is more difficult than expected. I am sore but fine, and Laurie is blistered & already starting to lose a toenail. Crazy. Arrived in Zubiri & have had thunder & lightning for the 2nd day in a row, luckily after done walking for the day. Very intense. You become grateful very quickly for the little things like a hot shower & plenty of drinking water.

Beginning The Camino - Aug. 29th

Arrived in St Jean Pied de Port & secured a room for the night. Drinking some beers before checking in at the pilgrim's office tonight, then sleep finally! And so it begins tomorrow over the Pyrenees! :-)
