All we do is walk ...

St Jean

Sabin is here. Team complete. Let's go to St Jean Pied de Port. Bordeaux is still fresh to our minds though...



St Jean happens very fast. It feels like a deep dive in the pilgrim world. Small medieval town, quiet, twilight, a few people with backpacks on the streets.

We find a hostel, more of somebody's house. That somebody, I'll call her tante Anita, chases us around amending any tentative of noise making. Shhh, dois respecter les autres pelerins..

... morning is not better. She gives the wake up at to 5:30 and then she gives us a lecture about our misconduct while we gulp our breakfast at 6:30 instead of 6, as we agreed last night.

I like her though, she said I'm the professor in the group (I guess is my hairstyle), and she agrees eventually to a photo

Decompression, at last

Joao, can you pinch me please? This is really happening, isn't it?


Let the time slow down,
let the world change shape,
let the noise fade away,
as we're getting closer to the threshold of the ancient road.


In the meantime, why not having a bit of celebration? It is 14th of July and we are in Bordeaux after all...
