St Jean Pied de Port

We arrived in St Jean Pied de Port on Monday afternoon after a five hour train trip. This beautiful village is at the base of the Pyrenees. So far, we’ve met people from the US, Germany and Australia. The river is flowing fast after recent heavy rain and snow (missed by a week). We picked up our first Camino stamp in our Credentials Pilgrim Passport at the Pilgrim Office. It actually felt surreal, having only seen that in the movies—seamless as well! Tomorrow we start with 26km over the Pyrenees. Total ascent of 1.5km.
It’s game time!!
