Hi all, finally starting from St. Jean for the CF Oct 2. Hoping for at least 500 miles maybe more if we go to Finisterre. Going with my best friend Sammi who grew up in Madrid and still has relatives in Spain. Our original flights were cancelled due to hurricane Irma so we had to re-schedule. Nothing can stop us now, not hurricanes, terrorism in Barcelona, (our first stop) or Catalonian independence voting--except maybe a plague of locusts. We are both from the Sacramento area in the great Central Valley of California. I am single and 69 and Sammi is happily married and 57. We are both strong hikers but Sammi is a little faster than me of course because he is younger. We both love to talk, so if you see us on the trail, give us a holler. Sammi has a black Osprey pack and I have red REI model, both about 40L and loaded with about 15 lb. We are both lightweight backpackers here in California, so heavy gear doesn't suit us. I am especially looking forward to talking to Irish folks since some of my grandparents were from county Kilkenny. And Sammi is looking forward to conversing in Spanish with his fellow countrymen. Yee haw, round me up, head me out!
