Delayed a day in getting started but we have finally begun. About to board our flight in Chicago for Madrid. Not the flight or seats we initially booked but at least we have a seat.
We will be arriving in Madrid at 0730 on the 17th and we will hit the ground running to catch a train. Wish we could have had some time in Madrid. Maybe at the end of our trip.Leggi altro

We made it to Madrid!!! Our flight from Chicago was delayed 1 1/2 hours. We arrived with 40 minutes to get from the airport to the train station. Our driver, Mauricio, was determined to get us there on time. We had 5 minutes to spare thanks to a new friend, Scott, who was in the same boat. Once we got to Pomplona, we grabbed a taxi. He drove like he was in the Gran Prix. The switchbacks did not slow this guy down. Final destination for the day St Jean Pied de Port, France. So grateful for a hot shower and dinner. Now for a good nights rest. One more rest day before we start the climb up the PyreneesLeggi altro

A wonderful, relaxing day in SJPP. Explored the town, toured the Bishop’s Prison and the Citadele from the 14th century. The albergue we are staying is 400 years old. Had a wonderful Pilgrims meal this evening. Pilgrims from Britain, South Korean, Austria and Barcelona. We found our walking poles so I guess we are set to head out the door tomorrow morning. Rain is expected!
Grateful for this community that we have joinedLeggi altro

Up early, quick breakfast and on to the trail out of town to Borda. Beautiful scenery. The clouds followed us all day. Rained for a while but cleared. Started again in the evening. Stopped midway at Orrison and had hot chocolate. The temps fell as we climbed higher.
I had my first “What the hell was I thinking” moment. I had to laugh. I figured I would but not this early.
Our lodgings in Borda is wonderful. Very clean. I was so cold that I jumped into my 4 minute shower. I washed all vital parts and then stood in the hot water for 3 whole minutes!!!! Best part of my day!
We will be sharing dinner with friends from South Korea, Croatia, New Zealand, Australia, and Indiana.
Grateful that we made it, for the friends we have met and all the lessons we are learning on this journey. 17000 steps and 7.5 miles today. More tomorrowLeggi altro

What an extraordinary day! We had a nice breakfast and then left in a chilly 43 degree, windy rain. We faced more uphills. So glad I brought my gloves. I had everything I brought on. Kept meeting up with those we met the night before. A nice break was a food truck where I had some hot chocolate and Steve had boiled egg, coffee and banana.
We had a very messy patch that resembled a muddy bog. Hated having to sink my feet into the muck-mice running all over. Also passed an area that in the Middle Ages, they would hang or burn witches at the stake.
Then we came to my favorite spot. Horses, cows and black faced sheep wear cowbells. The music was so beautiful.
The rain kept moving in and out. Finally we arrived at our destination Albergue de Roncesvalles. It is run by the Dutch. Mainly volunteers from Holland. We are now in Spain.
Today we did 12 miles and 28,470 steps.
Today I am reminded that I am grateful to Dr Gursky for the new hips. Dr Mogelnicki for making sure my feet/toes were ready for the trip and to my every day coach. Steve LudikerLeggi altro

We had a much more pleasant walk today. Plus it was shorter. Only 10 miles. Tomorrow will be a doozy…..15 miles mainly uphill. Need to get an earlier start. Today it was partly cloudy when we left and 45 degrees, no wind. We passed the little chapel and ended up going through densely grown forests. What a nice change. One group of trees was so dense that it was pitch black. It made me think of the wizard of oz. The trees were covered in moss. I thought a few might throw apples at us. Ha
We had pizza for lunch and then it started raining.
I was so grateful for a shorter day to rest my knee also grateful for less rain and a private room tonight.
We had a great meal last night of pasta, fish and potatoes. And I had the best nights sleep as well. 23,217 steps todayLeggi altro

We both felt stronger today. Maybe our bodies are getting used to the routine now. Unfortunately we miscalculated our mileage between stops. We expected to go 15 mile and ended up over 17. We were exhausted and hungry. But our place does not fix meals. Couldn’t find anything g in town, so potato chips and chocolate malt is what for dinner. Oh well, breakfast in Pomplona tomorrow I hope!!
The coarse today was shards of stone or mud puddles. Kept us on our toes.
Grateful today for the bed and the food I found and for sunshine!Leggi altro

Heading to Pomplona this morning for breakfast. Nice town. Would have like to explore a little more. Beautiful cathedral where we got a stamp. Outside of city was lush fields of grain and wild poppies. The countryside was so beautiful. Still some steep climbs. Once we crossed Alto del Perdon, I believe we are out of the Pyrenees. An iconic sculpture at the top depicting medieval pilgrims heading westward. Dinner was amazing: fish, French fries, green salad with tomatoes, rice with a fried egg on top and ice cream for dessert. We scarfed it down. We started later but still came in in the same amount of time 8-6pm. 15.7 miles and 36000 steps
Grateful was a better meal, our beds either a blanket and a shorter day tomorrow!Leggi altro

A very nice day. Left Uterga with a beautiful sunrise. Walked thru fields of poppies. The walk was lined with wild roses, honey suckles and Spanish brooms. Walked with a young from Germany. Ferdinand. Had such a sweet smile and so eager to talk to us Americans. When we got to Obanos, we saw an old cathedral with rough sidewalk. Past cemetery and olive trees and vineyards. After climbing, we came to a wonderful surprise at the top of a hill. A young g woman had cold water, juice and wine. Also slices of pineapples and oranges, pears and apples. Bread with olive oil and salt. Such a blessing. Got into Lorca at 1530. Showered and did our laundry. Dinner at 6. Ran into Rachel, 75 year old that had lost her passport her first day. She had to go to Madrid to try to replace it. Good to see her again
Steve developed a blister under a toenail. They helped him with that with Epsom salt soak and draining. Will have it checked in Estella tomorrowLeggi altro

Much shorter day. 5.85 miles. We had to make a stop at Urgent care for Steve’s blisters. They were so helpful and kind to each of us. We made a pharmacy run to get what we needed. Had a second breakfast but not exactly what I was hoping for. Went to check into our albergue but it was the wrong town….so we kept on walking. Shower done , hair is done and the owner of the albergue made us the best tuna fish sandwich!!!
Walked with Petra from Sweden today. Having knee issues…helped her by giving her my hiking poles. We have ended up in the same as for the night! Also 2 from Germany that we met two nights ago is here as well. Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers. We feel them and appreciate them. Feeling grateful for the care Steve received today, grateful for the short day and for the best tuna fish sandwich ever!!!Leggi altro
