Travel Day

Hi, I'm Bob's son Mitch, and I'm here to talk about our travel day to get to the start of the Camino. I'm writing this from our hotel in Saint-Jean-Pied-De-Port on the French/Spanish border, but getting here was an adventure of its own. Three Flights and a long taxi ride later we're at the starting point of the Camino, and have gotten a little bit of a sneak peak of some of where we'll be walking for the next three days.

The Pyrenees are absolutely gorgeous this time of year, as you can see below:

While we were all exhausted upon arrival, we've been wandering around town some to stay awake so we can better adjust our sleep schedule to Europe. In the process, we got some good food and some pictures of the town, including some of an old citadel that's still standing here:



For now, we're going to get back to staying up at least until dinner, and then crashing to get ready for our first day walking tomorrow. Weather forecast is for a cold, rainy, and even potentially snowy day, so it may make for quite the start to our time walking the Camino.
