June 16.
St. Jean Pied De Port to Roncesvalles. 25.1km. Happy Fathers Day. Today started with a perfect French crescent and cafe au lait breakfast in beautiful St. Jean Pied De Port. The word for today is difficult because not only is it difficult for the mind and body to adjust, but it is considered to be the most difficult day on the Camino. What a way to start. Today our paths were country roads and woodland paths up and down the Pyrenees Mountains, mostly up, gaining 1450 meters in elevation. We were tired but the scenery was beautiful. We sat down to the pilgrim´s dinner with a woman from Ireland, one from Australia, and a mother and son from Holland. Along the way we hiked with two French women who´d already been hiking 30 days through France. Hope to post some pictures soon. Blogging is difficult, at best, which is the other reason for the word of the day. The Camino has blessed us so far. Buen Camino.
