………………………………………………………………………………………………. Follow Us On Our Backpacking Journey Thru France & Spain !

We Made It!

We just arrived in Roncevalles, Spain. It was A 9 hour passage over the Pyrenees. 15 to 20 mile an hour wind in our faces for 7 of the 9 hour journey. Incredible. But we are  safe and sound. Also we  had to trek through a lot of snow at the higher elevation which slowed us down. Right Now we just checked into a hostel which is in a huge Monastery. I will post photos and videos
tomorrow evening. We have been on the trail for two days and have covered about 19 miles. Now we are each washing down 2 Advil with San Miguel Beer! Ciao for now
