Today was my first day on the Camino! It was amazing!
I started out walking by myself, but soon met up with Hanna from Germany. About an hour later, we met Darina, a young lady about 40 or so from Florida. We walked together until we arrived at Orisson... arrived pretty early as this was not a long walk today. Walking this shorter distance helps shave off some distance as we hike over the Pyrenees. We then met Andy and Stephanie, both from Germany. I had a most enjoyable afternoon as this is a most beautiful place... All I can come up with is the "Sound of Music" beautiful!
The Albergue (this is what they call the places we can stay that are more like hostels than a hotel) also provided dinner where about 50 of us ate together. We all shared where we were from and more. My eyes got leaky as I realized how blessed I am on this adventure. God created it all and Him be the glory... Amen!
Side comment from Jean... No wifi there for his phone, data is at 3G. Pics are not uploading so he sent a few in email. He did say the walk was beautiful...

Excellent beginning! Sounds similar to what others have told me of their adventure. Continue enjoying each day, all the fellow pilgrims and the beauty surrounding you! Walk on.....
