Day One of Walking

Due to your prayers, we made it over the Pyrenees! While the terrain was very difficult, the views were spectacular. The internet connection that we have today will not allow us to upload photos, but we will do that as soon as we can. We´re in Roncesvalles, a quaint ancient town. Tonight all of the pilgrims received a special blessing at the end of mass.

The weather is beautiful - 70s and sunny. Thank you, St. James. As we had heard, not many people on the Camiino are doing it for spiritual reasons. But on a couple of occasions, as pilgrims walked by us when we were praying, they corossed themselves. People seem surprised when we say ¨God bless you.¨We continue to pray for you. Please continue to pray for us.

Hooray! Does this mean it's all downhill from here?! Remember that your angels will lighten your load and lift your feet. Our prayers continue...

Ruth, Tom and Friends, I am praying each day with and for you. I am glad for rain here, thinking perhaps it will keep your path dry. Go with God! julia
