We're arrived to Bordeaux

Apparently I am getting a short cut as the train to next way point is not running
So the bus to St.Jean is picking us up right here

Beginning to see lots of backpacks and some have Camino shells

Totally lovely little medieval town
Walls and Gate portals as one would expect
I'm just taking bunch of pictures all over

There was a special Mass with a Pilgrims Blessing and Benediction at 7:00pm
It's amazing how much of the Service one can follow even in foreign languageLes mer

Joseph and Fleur owned Beilari since 2008
The Camino Forum can't sing more praise to them and the place
I am very happy that I followed many suggestions and booked here.
All in all the were 19 of us and we split between 2 tables for dinner after playing a very silly game (also a talk of the Forum) that sets the stage not only for the evening but The Way itselfLes mer

Over the hills and over the plains...
Here we go
Only 5 miles (8km) today but IMHO that's enough for the start
About 1/3 of my last night albergue-mates are doing the same so we'll see each other there

I stopped at that same church that had The Mass last evening right before I left and said a couple of Prayers...never hurts 😀
Father into Your Hands...Les mer

So I'm going to label all the insignificant scenery type Footprints either alphabetically or numerically throughout a given day without any further explanation cuz sometimes I don't really know where I am and it was simply the scenery itself that caught my eyes.Les mer
