St. Jean Pied-de-Port

I arrived at the trail head in St. Jean Pied-de-Port with my new found friends this afternoon. Susan, Glenn and I walked through the Citadel before joining Josef for dinner. I thoroughly enjoy their company; there is an abundance of laughter to go around with our wholehearted attempts to speak Francais and Espagnol and German...and English in Josef's case. It's been a riot. Susan and I have really connected and we both agree, there are no coincidences! There is a tremendous sense of camaraderie here at the starting point of the Camino, though we are all here for our own reasons, spiritual or otherwise. It's an experience of a lifetime and we're all in it together...
