We spent our last night at the beautifful L',Esprit du Chemin. We were sorry to leave, not only Tom & I but everyone in the gite, in part because we all expect that this will be the nicest, most private accomdations we'll see. (though we could be wrong, who knows?).  We all doubted we'd have as much privacy as we had there.  By privacy I mean 4 persons per room.   the first night Tom & I shared the bunk beds with two nice English men, one a priest and one a pianist (how about that!), both in their 60's.  Last night our suitemates were two young German girls, one a nurse and one a teacher.  Everyone has been nice as can be.  But even in this small gite one has to modify one's ideas of privacy.  The communal bathrooms are to get used to.  It's interesting to have two people taking a shower while two people are brushing their teeth at the sink while there are two people in line to use the single commode upon which you are sitting trying to go.  There's also a line to use this computer, so I guess it's really time to go!.  We're on our way!  "Hello life...goodbye Columbus!"  Peace and a wonderful day to you all!

We watched a video ( on Youtube) filmed by a pilgrim as he walked The Way. I know you are starting from a charming town and will see amazing vistas. He enjoyed many communal meals that looked quite inviting. Hope you find lots of interesting people--and lots of food!

    My husband Tom and I will be walking the 490.7-mile Camino de Santiago from St. Jean Pied de Port, France, to Santiago, Spain. We leave Columbus 9/11/13 and return 10/30/13.  God willing.
