Saint Jean Pied de Port, France

We made a short list of things to do before we hiked the Camino, and the list is now complete. We mailed our luggage to Burgos using general delivery. We organized our packs, I mended and washed my clothes. It cost us each 52 euros to mail ahead our rolling bags. We visited the Pilgrim office for maps and advice about the way to Roncevalles. I bought a hat, which wasn’t on the list. Norm bought a book of maps and mailed postcards to Jason and Megan. We walked around the Citadel, and around the town seeing all there is to see. I can say for certain we are ready now. We will begin tomorrow on the valley route, avoiding Napoleon’s Route because the weather forecast is for rain.
