    Day#1 on the Camino
    3600 ft climb

    Great walk today. It rained the whole time so I didn’t get that many photos. I got on the trail at 5:30am. Followed some other Camino walkers the wrong way for a mile, realized it, got on the right path and walked until4pm. Soaked through when I arrived at my accommodations in Roncesvalles. They have laundry service, getting the muddy mess washed and dried and ready for fun tomorrow! Beautiful sight: mountains, rolling green hills, sheep out grazing, unusually large slugs, lots of mud and great people. Gonna go rub the feet for a really long time. 50,000 steps, baby!!!!Read more
