October 16 Santiago – Here is Harriet

We shared many miles, helped each other traverse some treacherous and rocky downhills. She is 74 and lives in Washington state. She walked into Santiago today, October 16th, under a deluge of rainfall. We met our first day out – on September 7. She picked up her Compostela today.

September 7 Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port to Orisson 7.5km / 4.7 miles

Off to the Camino!
Along the way. The path isn’t steep yet.
It’s good to turn around for the view behind us from time to time!
Harriet on the left. An 82 year old gentleman. Me. A short, but VERY steep hike up the mountain. Our alburgue and bed (Orisson) in the background.
On the deck at Orisson. Where we begin to meet our Camino families – pilgrims we will see off and on over the next six weeks across the Camino Frances.
Dinner with seventy of our closest friends.
Everyday, at the end of the day. Laundry. “Wear one, wash one.”
