I see London, I see France…

I’m in St. Jean Pied-de-Pont, all set to start the Camino de Santiago tomorrow!

I flew into London yesterday and had a great visit with my friend Janice and her family. They live in Gravesend, which is just southeast of London. We went for a run in the countryside and apple orchards, the had dinner at a country pub. I really love the UK.

Today I flew to France and took a shuttle to this Camino starting point. It is much busier than I expected and I had some trouble finding a pilgrim hostel. Thankfully I teamed up with 2 people from my shuttle and we divided and conquered to find a place. Of course we went out for dinner and wine to celebrate! Looks like the start of a Camino friendship to me!
