Wonderful little town! Just a short walk from the train station to our hotel—and dialysis location smack dab in the middle.
I’ll post some pics. Had a delightful dinner at a creperie—afterЧитать далее

While on dialysis today in Orthez the very kind and concerned nurses and technicians called ahead and arranged for me to receive dialysis in Pamplona! {Something that the Fresenius International teamЧитать далее
Путешественник You usually can count on nurses they can be the best at things out.

This morning Sean and I set out from St.Jean Pied de port, after a small but welcome breakfast (first time I drank coffee French style—out of a bowl!) and a brief stop at the Pilgrim office to getЧитать далее
Путешественник I bet the elevation change gets to a lot of people! I applaud your wise move! Wow!! Pics are gorgeous!!
Путешественник Thank you so much for the updates & pictures. So glad you have Sean with you & heeded input 🥳🌻

Last night we stayed in the albergue at Roncesvalles. Not the one pictured in “The Way.” This is it’s modern replacement.
Still, built to house hundreds! They handed each of us a small clothЧитать далее
Путешественник That looks clean. (Have been in some less wonderful places. 😆) 👍🏽

(I appear to still have a character limit.)
I was very disappointed. All that preparation and I wasn’t prepared. First day of walking the Camino and I already had to take a taxi.
Sean was—andЧитать далее
Путешественник I hear your disappointment. I’m celebrating that y’all are there at all! This time last year you could only walk from the bedroom to the living room where you had to collapse for the rest of the day. Now you are walking up a mountain pass with a backpack!!! All your hard work brought you to a wondrous place. If a little modern boost helps out…great!!
Путешественник Just catching up here. I think it is such an act of courage for you to do this at all! You are there! Wow! Yeah! Hope you meet some wonderful people. And also make some amazing memories with Sean 🥰🙏🏽🎉.

I’m having a difficult time keeping my limited languages straight. I learned a bit of French when Nancy and I traveled to Paris and Colmar nearly 23 years ago. And I studied 3 years of Spanish inЧитать далее
Путешественник At least that phrase is consistent from France all the way through Spain.

Yesterday was far more difficult than expected. Think Fitbit exaggerates my mileage.
Today, Pamplona. Same distance as yesterday. Hopefully easier.
Beautiful medieval bridge here.

Did you get to walk over this bridge? Any graffiti..Charlemagne was here?
Путешественник We did walk across this bridge, in fact our albergue was right on the river.

It may take another miracle to get dialysis tomorrow. I had forgotten to ask Orthez where and when and follow-up has yielded no answers.
The picture is of the bridge we crossed into Pamplona. VeryЧитать далее

That terrain and footing looks challenging. Thank you for sharing. Much love to you both. Xoxo
Путешественник Excellent! Hope y’all go into the church. Could be someone famous buried there. Ya never know…
Путешественник Great pics & thank you for sharing your adventure 🌻🙂
Путешественник Love it! So glad Sean won’t starve!! Ordering in another country is a mystery!! 😆🤣
