      St Jean to Roncesvalles 27kms 9.5 Hours

      9 września 2023, Francja ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C

      Today we walked 27km and gained 1400 meters of elevation through the Pyrenees. It was incredibly beautiful but very difficult. We took 9 hours to complete this leg. We were rewarded with a great pilgrim dinner with some old friends and new ones. Tonight we are staying in a 17th century monastery in Roncesvalles Czytaj więcej

      Day 4

      19 maja, Francja ⋅ 🌩️ 55 °F

      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 tomorrow

      Orisson to Roncesvalles

      24 maja, Francja ⋅ 🌙 6 °C

      Pretty rubbish night at Orisson hostel with whispering (couple opposite my bed) snoring and people going in and out to the loo - I was right by the door so the hall light shone onto me every time someone got up. The whole dorm started moving before 6 despite breakfast starting at 7 (and you do need to eat breakfast at this place as there is nothing certain until Roncesvalles!).
      Anyway I got over having to get up 45 minutes earlier than I wanted and felt better after a couple of cups of coffee.
      Set off at 7.50 in beautiful weather and had the most glorious walk in the high Pyrenees. Cool air but bright sun, perfect for walking and I saw the snow capped peaks that I missed last time because of the cloud. Also a pair of eagles - tried to get a photograph but very difficult to capture them.
      Ate a picnic lunch with the last of the sandwiches from home, crisps and an apple in a field with a horse but not a person in sight.
      We arrived in Roncesvalles just before 1 and checked into the monastery. I really wanted to stay here but was feeling quite nervous as I was concerned that it would be very basic and cold. In fact it’s wonderful - I still may not get any sleep but the dorms are fab and the facilites great. Lots of hot water, single sex bathrooms great laundry facilities, vending machines with everything you might need and wonderful grounds with washing lines to dry the clothes. My washing is already clean and dry!
      After arriving went to the local bar for very welcome beer and chips - hoping the meal tonight will be as good!
      Have done my Pilates stretches and now ready for dinner and then hopefully more sleep than last night!
      Very sad news from home so could t write any more - sorry 😔

      Valcarlos -Roncesvalles

      24 sierpnia 2019, Francja ⋅ 🌙 18 °C

      Der Weg von Arnegui nach Valcarlos ist für meinen Geschmack schon steil, aber es wird auf jeden Fall noch viel mehr, schließlich muss ich noch von jetzt 500m auf 1100 Höhenmeter. Also Kaffeepause in Valcarlos. Meine vierbeinigen Freunde möchten meinen Rucksack auch nicht tragen. Es ginge ihnen gut, dort wo sie sind, auf ihrer furchtbar steilen Koppel am Hang. Czytaj więcej

      החיוך לא מש משפתיי

      11 kwietnia 2023, Francja ⋅ ☁️ 11 °C

      במשך כמה שעות לא ירד החיוך מהפנים. כמו שאמר הצליין הניו-זילנדי, המקום הזה פשוט קסום. ואם הוא אומר, מהמקום ממנו בא, אז זו באמת מחמאה גדולה.
      ליום הזה יש שני מסלולים אפשריים, והדרך שבחרתי היא הדרך שבה הרוב הולכים. היא קשה יותר אך גם יפה יותר, והיא נקראת ״דרך נפוליאון״. ואכן הצדק עמו

      Orisson

      21 czerwca 2018, Francja ⋅ ⛅ 66 °F

      We began our hike out of Saint Jean this morning and immediately began to climb steeply up a narrow road. It was very foggy as we climbed, AND SO MUGGY!! I probably could have filled my water bottle with how much sweat rolled off my face and body 😂.

      Orisson is a lovely place with gracious hosts. Bonus for us when we were given a room with just two beds, so still haven’t had to experience the bunk beds with numerous people, yet. That will be tomorrow in Roncesvalles.

      We walked a bit with some German women, and I was able to use a tiny bit of German that was somewhere tucked in the back of my brain. 😂 Then we caught up to Richard (who we met on our shuttle ride the other day). He is from California. In the common eating room there were so many people from different countries... German, Swiss, Dutch, Astonian, Italian, Russian, Brazilian, French, Canadian, and American...all with different and moving reasons for doing the Camino.

      I will try and put a video on Facebook with some footage I took today.

      Orisson, France: Auberge Borga

      1 lipca 2021, Francja ⋅ ⛅ 68 °F

      Mantras
      Today is a short day. Only 8km but all uphill. I will start each day with a few mantras.

      I am not a human being on a spiritual journey. I am a spiritual being on a human journey.
      Keep going.
      It’s not a race, slow the fuck down.
      I am grateful for this day and I smile as I have the next 24 hours to explore.
      I will show compassion to myself and to others.

      Blood, Sweat, and Tears

      Sweat. I’ve never been so sweaty in my life. The uphill climb reminds me of the neighborhood I grew up in, Briar Ridge. My mom used to walk “the hill” when I was younger and I remember being impressed with her ability to tackle such a steep street on her morning walks. Today’s walk felt like a never ending Briar Ridge. My butt and calves hate me.
      Tears. Nearing my first stop, I passed a cement structure where someone had written the words “KEEP GOING” and instantly I cried. This phrase is not only my mantra, but reminds me of my Grandma Mary.
      Blood.
      Well, I started my period today. Thanks uterus. This should be interesting.

      Letting go. I have met wonderful people and started my day with a mom and daughter duo from Texas. They are positive and uplifting. We are staying in different places tonight but plan to start our morning together. I’ve been told that a magical part of the Camino are the connections made with other pilgrims and the strange way in which you meet, connect, then may never see each other again. I will remind myself to appreciate the moments together, and let go when we part ways.

      Courage vs Bravery
      I came across a rock where someone wrote “Courage.” This made me think about all the times people have said to me “You’re going to walk the Camino alone? You’re so brave!” I don’t think I’ve ever stopped to consider the difference between courage and bravery until today. I have never called myself courageous but today, I am. I’ve been brave so many times but I think being brave is what I do to get through something I don’t yet have the courage to do. I feel courage in my heart and I feel bravery in my mind. I will continue to reflect on this as I walk.

      PS. I arrived at my hostel two hours before they opened. I’m pretty sure I’m trespassing right now as I lie under a tree, and hope I don’t get yelled at in French when the hosts arrive!

      PSS. I freaking love walking poles!! My ADHD hands now have something to do and I find the rhythm to be cathartic.

      Roncesvalles, Spain

      Mantras
      The greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.
      Only a person who risks is truly free. -William Ward
      Today I will ask forgiveness and extend forgiveness to all I owe during this journey.
      I am able to transform pain into understanding and gratitude now and in the future.
      I wake this morning and smile. I have 24 hours of life to explore. I am grateful. I will show compassion to myself and to others.
      Don’t. Fucking. Fall.

      Up, up, and above the clouds.
      After being served coffee in a BOWL this morning, our US crew headed out to tackle the rest of the Pyrenees. We gained an extra pilgrim today, a man from Austin Texas about to enter law school. We welcomed him with open arms. We climbed 8 miles UP, then 2 down to our next stop at a Monastery for pelegrinos (pilgrims). The showers are lovely and for dinner we will have a communal meal.

      I find it so conflicting that while peace and beauty surrounds me, my anxiety consumes me. I am hoping the anxiety will slowly dissipate as I allow room to consume the peacefulness.

      My feet HURT. I have a caffeine headache. I really need to poop. Also, my heart is so entirely full of love and excitement I could nearly burst. Several times during the 10 miles today, I found myself just SMILING as I walked. In those moments of feeling present, I wished that it would never end….and then along comes ADHD and the anxiety again. It’s all a balance and while I don’t want to hang on to expectations, I do have a goal of practicing being present and at peace in larger gaps of time.

      This is not my body. The behaviors I adapted to during covid have changed my body from athletic to rather juicy. I have been uncomfortable in my body for awhile now. During this walk, I’d like to become friends with this new body so that my mind and body will stop arguing with each other. Also I am so grateful that this body IS carrying me over the Pyrenees and forward throughout this walk, juicy parts and all.

      Tonight I tried to eat a trout that was served with the tail and eyeballs still in tact. I tried. Sorry Spain, I just can’t eat something that appears to be judging me while I devour it’s meat. I politely covered his one good eye with a piece of crispy ham out of respect for the dead. RIP trout.

      PS….I didn’t fucking fall!

      Alberge Boda

      12 kwietnia 2023, Francja ⋅ 🌧 6 °C

      Albergue Boda er et relativt nytt og hyggelig sted ca. 9 km. oppoverbakke fra St Jean Pied de Port. Det er plass til 12 personer, med 3 grupper av senger - 4 i hver gruppe. Hver gruppe deler toalett og dusj. Jeg fikk maskinvasket noen svette klær og kl 19.00 var det felles middag. Tre retter med vin. En hyggelig middag, hvor hver enkelt presenterte seg selv og fortalte litt om motivasjonen for pilegrimsreisen. Så senker roen seg og vi lader opp til en kald og regnfull dag i morgen. Czytaj więcej

      St Jean Pied de Port to Orisson

      24 maja 2023, Francja ⋅ 🌧 15 °C

      Set off from St Jean around 8.30. Short but steep day today 9km up into the Pyrenees. Weather has been misty with a bit of rain and a very little bit of sun. We were at the main Orisson Auberge by 10.30 so had coffee and then some soup as despite breakfast I was hungry.
      All a bit uncomfortable tho after that as was very sweaty after the steep climb but the weather had turned quite cold so just got chilled. Our Auberge (Auberge Borda) was a kilometre further on so we were there super early and it turned out that it didn’t open until 2.30. While the sun shone this was fine but got vv cold waiting.
      Laurent - owner - finally turned up but we are missing Joseph from last night as although the place is beautiful the welcome wasn’t and we don’t actually feel very welcome but instead a bit of a nuisance! Anyway the other pilgrims are lovely - some people from Beilari too and am sure dinner will be fun.
