A Happy Ending!

Today was a hard day for me. My pack is 19 lbs and this is the first time I carried it up to the top of the Pyrenees Ridge and then down a very steep descent. Between the rapid descent and "old knees" I was in pain by the end of the day. Thank goodness there were sheep, horses and beautiful views that kept me going. We arrived at Roncevalles at 12:30, took a break, then walked another 3 Km to Burgette. Our BNB in Burgette looked like "heaven." Clean, hot shower, and a clothesline, Never before, did these things mean so much. A hot shower, a place to wash our clothes & charge cell phones changed my attitude. We found a pub a block away, met Camino friends we had barely knew before, enjoyed dinner with them and today turned into a wonderful day. So tomorrow...we're having our packs shipped. It's supposed to rain for the next 4 days. Taking it one day, maybe hour, at a time !Read more
