Just a few more sleeps ...

On Sunday morning we will set out from Lectoure, our 'home town' for the past six months, in the hope of walking to Santiago de Compostela in Spain. On foot, it's a journey of more than 1,000 kms, on a continuous path.

The Camino Le Puy will take us to Saint Jean Pied de Port, a Basque town in the foothills of the Pyrenees. From there we will cross the Pyrenees into Spain and continue on the Camino Frances.

The French and I have both walked every step of this path before, but not all of it side by side. And most of it not for almost 10 years. We have the luxury of time, so we plan to begin at a leisurely pace, starting with our first stage on Sunday, a relatively short walk from Lectoure to the village of La Romieu.

One day at a time. 💜Read more
