The Journey Begins

We’ve arrived in St. Jean Pied de Port

Rich and I spent the afternoon registering as pilgrims and exploring this picturesque Basque town in Southern France. Tonight we’re splurging on an Air BnB and one of our few chances for a comfy, private bed.

We have a tough day tomorrow, as we go over the Pyrenees and ascend 1,389m on the Route de Napoleon to Roncesvalles, Spain…and jet lag has hit… so to bed we go.
