We have arrived in St. Jean after a bit of a mix on the train from Bordeuax. We go on the wrong end of the train. Oh well. The SNRF people were very helpful.
As we left our home I i thought of Bilbo Baggins = Be careful when you step out your front door because the first step to a long journey is right out side your front door>= Paraphrased.
we felt a little tender shutting off everything and locking the door. A pilgrimage makes a time away very different. Maybe because we know we will be changed.
Two planes, two trains, a couple nights of sleeping poorly and we are finally here.
St. Jean is beautiful. We arrive at our hostel to a warm welcome from Eric who clearly has a ministry of hospitality. He has walked the camino many times and it has changed his life. Once a high roller in Paris he now says he has far less money but he is far happier.
We share a meal with 14 others from the USA, Ireland, Demark, the Canary islands. It was a good taste of what is to come. I was outed as a minister by a curious university professor. He asked.
It is amazing that everyone was feeling simular about the next stage. A bit anixous and not sure if they have planed well. Can they really make it or not.
before we left we had tried to shift our body clock. <i am not sure that it helped that much, <i lay awake until three last night. When we are walking <i will sleep.
The journey begins tomorrow. i can hardly wait.
peace Bill
