Madrid to St Jean Pied de Port

Our dream of walking the Caminó Frances has come to fruition.
Javier and I went to a Camino informational meeting at REI many years ago, this is definitely a bucket list item we get to check off.
When we moved into our Condo in PV in 2020 during the pandemic we met Jim and Melanie and as our friendship grew we discovered that they also had a desire to walk the entire Camino as well. We have all been researching, buying gear, training and rigorously been planning for well over a year.
Now that we have finally arrived we’re like kids the day before Christmas.
We officially start our Camino tomorrow, we’ve got our credentials from the pilgrim office, our sea shells are hanging on our packs and our gear is as ready as we are.
We’ve already met fellow pilgrims from Sacramento, Barcelona and Brazil and we look forward to this journey with anticipation.
We are all walking for different reasons but have a common path. I look forward to sharing this adventure with Jim and Melanie and I know our Camino family will grow with each passing day. Hopefully these footprints will give everyone a glimpse of our journey and also serve to document our memories for us. Buenas noches… KathyRead more
