And we're off...

So...if all goes well we will be on a plane at 3:30pm Sunday and in Madrid, Spain on Monday morning.  The plan is to bus to Pamplona and stay there 2 days to get over any jet lag and get acclimated.  On Wednesday we will bus to St. Jean Pied de Port, France - the traditional starting point for the Camino Frances.  There we will get our "credencial" which registers us as pilgrims.  Each place that we stay along the way has their own "sello" or stamp.  So it is a Pilgrim's Passport so to speak.   On Thursday we will begin walking the Camino.  At this point, the extended forecast shows Thursday as the only day that it will not be raining this week, so hope that will hold out and we will have a clear and dry day to start out!  The first day is the highest elevation and the views should be spectacular if there is no fog! 
Thank you for your support and prayers!  We will be carrying you with us on the Way!
