C. Frances sections Apr-Jun 2019
I'm sending this from Zubiri - we're on the camino at last! Two years of planning (longer than that thinking about it) and having originally planned to start last September - I've posted here before about having to postpone at the last minute and have major surgery. But after all that, and still not as fit as I was before the surgery, my mother and I have finally started! We're taking it VERY slowly to begin with (we started in Roncesvalles and have taken three days to get this far - don't laugh! We'll build up our distances gradually, we have the time, and will have rest days.
So far so utterly beautiful, really. The trees just coming into leaf, wild flowers everywhere, birds singing and everyone so friendly and welcoming. We've met lots of other pilgrims (mostly as they stride past us! ) and it's such a thrill to be finally able to exchange "Buen caminos" with them!
We're having a great time so far (with the possible exception of that famous descent into Zubiri! We had planned to detour via the road but then said what the heck and just went for it. Well. .. We survived anyway! )
I'll try to post occasionally as we go.
Buen camino!
