I got my 40000 step badge today from FitBit and if you have checked out Kathy's blog you will see why. We walked 32 klms today! We had a great day, the sun was shining, the temperature was in the mid twenties and the scenery along the coast was spectacular. We are very tired but happy and tomorrow's plan is for an easier day of 15 klms to Orio
Saw my first Camino sign (yellow arrows that indicate the direction to follow to get to Santiago ) as Kathy and I were leaving Bilbao this morning
Checked into Hotel San Mames when I arrived in Bilbao at 12:30 then wandered around until Kathy arrived at 9:30 and we went exploring together and checked out the Guggenheim Museum
Had a great trip to Paris and then to Bilbao Spain, they even fed me supper and breakfast and it included complimentary wine and a cognac!
Hold on Cooper, here I come!
A walk with Auntie Joan is guaranteed tonight!
I have two days to go before I leave for Toronto. I will be flying out on Wednesday morning and I get two weeks in Toronto with Cooper. I am hoping to visit lots of family and friends before I leave on September 19th for Bilbao Spain. I will be spending one night in Bilbao and on the 21st start my walk from Irun, in the north east corner of Spain on the French border.
Keep in touch,
Joan
10 days to go, better start packing!
