Arthez-De-Béarn

Another quiet day on the path. I forgot my toiletries at my accommodations from last night. I got less than a mile before she pulled up in her car and gave them to me.

Today the landscape changes. Today we started, heading into the foothills of the Pyrenees. There’s an old greeting on the chemin: Ultreia (or Ultreïa). It’s origin is in old Latin. It’s been used by pilgrims on the chemin (Way of Saint Camino de Santiago) to encourage one another to go further. The response is: Suseia ("and higher").

Tomorrow that greeting will take new meaning to me. We are on track to cover 17 miles (30 km) and gain 1700 fteet (518.16 m). Tomorrow we go, tomorrow we go farther and higher. .

Stops included;
