There ya go. This morning we started our second Camino Frances. Today we fly into Bayonne, France to enjoy a leisurely evening of wine and relaxation. We take the 11:00 am Wed train to Saint Jean Pied de Port and will spend the day exploring this town we breezed through the first time. Thursday morning we start the journey.
Learning from our first experience, we have allowed seven weeks instead of the five. This will allow us to walk every step, skipping no sections, on our much older frames and battered knees. We also expect to stay a few extra days in Pamplona, Burgos, Leon and Sarria; to recharge the batteries and get to know the cities a little better. Our son and daughter in law Jenny and Jeff, and now Mary Lou's sister Leslie, will join us in Sarria and share the final 115 km with us. After a few days in Santiago de Compostella, the three elders will continue the walk thru to Finnistere. It will be interesting to see how our perceptions have changed.
Instead of blogging this time, I will track the pilgrimage on a new Facebook page. You can follow along by searching:
"The Two Caminos - Magic and Mystery on the Camino de Santiago" on Facebook.
Will be trying a few different things this time.
And, oh yes, the book is complete. From draft after draft - to editor review - revisions - copy edit - revisions - final copy. It will be published this fall, the exact date to be confirmed sometime later this summer. Thanks for watching.
