We Are Pilgrims

We started walking today!We were anxious to get started so we did a short, but steep, hike. We will do another short day tomorrow. We started with breakfast at the albergue. Pilgrim Chris, on the left in the photo, started hiking 24 days ago and had just arrived in St. Jean from somewhere in the Mediterranean. Stephen, from Australia, is starting tomorrow. Today we met people from Holland and another couple from Australia. We really enjoyed chatting with Mara, from Italy, at dinner last night and a woman from from Montana who gave us some packing tips since we seem (a bit) disorganized. We said goodbye to St.Jean after taking some photos and started our trek.We saw lots of curious farm animals and they didn't mind being photographed . We saw views that defy description.It rained off and on but we stayed dry and comfortable. We are spending the night at an albergue called Ferme Ithurbia, where we have our own room with French doors to a patio, an ensuite bathroom with a heated towel bar and a view that goes on and on.Roughing it, I know!Enjoy our photos.
