Roncesvalles

Day 2 proved to be another day of climbing 2700’. Conditions where perfect for hiking with cool temps, then mist and light rain. We topped the Pyrenees, crossed over into Spain and then the sun came out guiding us into Roncesvalles.

Once we booked a bed at the monastery for the night we were off to build new friendships in town. We burned a lot of calories so the beer won’t hurt the waistline, right?! 😁. The good thing is, with the help of a pilgrim who did the Camino a few years ago, we were able to book a room for the following night. Hopefully we will get the hang of this new lifestyle (where we plan to sleep the following night) sooner than later.

We shared a meal tonight with other pilgrims from South Korea, Brazil and France. It has been great to start building friendships and have conversations with others from around the globe. It is clear how similar our lives, families and goals are and that we are all navigating the world as best we can.Read more
