To Burgete

To Burgete. A beautiful sunrise greeted me this morning in Orisson. I left the Albergue at 7:45 am for day two of climbing the Pyrenees. I hiked about 19 km; 70-75% was uphill… again!! I finally reached the summit of 1429m elevation. St Jean, where I started the trail, is 166m. That shows how much I had to climb in two days!! Although it’s awfully difficult going up for such long distances, and carrying a pack weighing 12-15 pounds, I was blessed with amazingly gorgeous landscapes again today. I was able to visit the statue of the Virgin Mary. What a magnificent view she has! Temperature reached about 30°C. Another blessed day!Read more
