Photo from Climb Up Pyrenees

Chris LowneyHere is a photo from day one, my climb up the Pyrenees. It was taken at Valcarlos, a tiny Spanish town, the first one after crossing the French border. The story of the photo is incredible: one of the gentlemen who drove me to my start point, Inigo Eccheveste, was the next day driving across the Pyrenees with his family. He met me on the road---he driving one way as I was walking the other. He took this photo. The odds of us meeting were, to say the least, longshot!

Hi Chris,
Marilynn Force here, you look wet but happy! It must be feeding your soul to be where St. Ignatius was. How are the blisters? Take care you are in my prayers.

I wish that the picture had been posted yesterday. It would have worked well within the flier. You have already had a number of strange coincidences occur and you're only on day 5. Can't wait for the upcoming reports.

Color me curious: what kind of shoes are you hiking in? Same on mountain and on flat? How do you pass the time while walking? Praying? Chatting? Listening to an ipod?
