What an amazing day. It’s hard to put into words the beauty and the heart and soul filling joy. Even when we had to get off our bikes  and push them up hill after bravely trying to ride up the 20% grade. Coasting down to the beach then riding along the ocean. Can’t count how many times we were lost but we consistently found our Way.  And this was just our first day.

    GREAT POST CATHY!
    Love the photos from the fountain in Gipuzkoa. Cathy and Christy are the BEST companions I could possibly ask for on this journey. Cathy got her Kate on today (ask her about it) and Christy is 6’1” of courage and fortitude.

This means we need to make some decisions on what to take and what to leave behind. We have narrowed it down to this cut list, so I ask you; if it was you, which three items would you take and which three would you leave behind? 1.  A portable battery recharger (that would need to be recharged occasionally itself) 2.  A book (something between War and Peace and The Prophet) 3.  Long pants (it will be June in Spain but we will be along the coast at times) 4.  iPad (finding internet connection will be tricky but then we could ditch the book - damned Americans!  They can’t go anywhere without technology) 5.  Rain jacket (it will be June in Spain but it could rain at times) 6.  P...

Easy Day Along The Coast Short ride today, only 29 miles mostly along the coast. Short blog today. Cathy is going to post some highlights. Photos aren’t loading secondary to poor connections. Will try again when we have better WiFi (wee fee in España) Love that early morning pre ride cafe con leche! Met a new friend today…Ann, who started her Camino in  Belgium.  Laundry day at the albergue.  Pilgrams dinner. So fun to sit and converse with people from Japan, Ireland, Norway, Sweden, and France. All at one table!
