First day - June 1

First day ...done! 24.5 km from Pamplona to Puente la Reina. It's been raining for the last 3 - 4 days all over the area, but today, while overcast and coolish, NO rain. A couple of spots where the clay pathway was sticky and sloppy, but other than dirty boots - no problems. Staying in a very nice albergue, semi private rooms and only 10 E each. Must say, really looking forward to supper!!!

Pix include Barb and I just before we headed to the airport.

Training -17more sleeps

Made it to Dee's - 19 km from door to door. A good test of endurance. Today - Mom's Day 'n my birthday - walked a short one- 5.5 km. felt good after the long one so I think I'm about as ready as I can be. The 712 km - Pamplona to Santiago means about 24 to 30 km average each day. Here's a pix of my fav training trail in the ravine close to my place. Happy walking!
