Yeah AMERICA!!

I'm with my peeps. The family whose names I forgot (mom, dad, late teenage son) from North Carolna, Graham the  commodities trader from Baltimore, Terry from Wisconsin, John from California, Marcia from Alaska. We are the USA Camino Class of St. Jean Pied de Port: October 6th 2013!  I talked their ears off. 

I heard that the easier route from SJPdP included 6km on the side of a busy road. I had enough of that on the Tours route so I opted for the high road regardless of the weather. As for the weather, it didn't snow but aside from that it was foggy and once we got up above 1200m it was pretty cold (below 10c). There was a momentary break in the clouds up toward the top of the route and even if I couldn't get it on camera it was a pretty spectacular sight - of SJPdP 1100m below and 22km away. You have to look close, under that little break in the clouds. 

I'm really getting a kick out of being in the same places as in May for a couple days. Since Ive got the same iphone as last time the place I'm at tonight remembers my wifi password, which makes me feel special in a weird sort of way.
