We are walking tomorrow, or the day after.

Hmmmmm...

Ben and I were going to sleep in the airport tonight, at the middle of no-where airport frankfurt-hahn, thank you rtan air. When pammi and al dropped us off, it was literally on a street where oneside was an airport and the other a hotel. The question became two part: a) do they let you sit in an airport when there is a hotel across the one way street and b) do you let yourself sleep sitting up in a plastic airport chair at that point.

We slept at the hotel. We are sleeping at the.hotel.

Tomorrow, fifteen feet away, our plane will take off for Biarritz, France. It seems like a cool beach town, which I would be more excited about if I brought a suit.

After we land and sleep somewhere (beach, pension, park bench), we go on to st. jean pied de port. This is,the town where the ancient walking paths that cone through france meet before all funneling into the camino frances, jacobian route, or most popular of all the potential camino de santiagos you could walk. I will refer to this route as "the road" or maybe "the path" or even "what I did today." What else I can tell you is that this path is over five centuries  old and no cars go there. Catholic folks walk it mostly, and mostly during the summer. They choose this month because there is a mass for st. john (san tiago in spanish) on july 25th. I personally don't know that much about dear john, which is probably too bad. Anyway, I do know Charlemange himself walked part if not all of it and that on the first day we will walk a roman road.

Put it simply, wikipedia el camino frances, and learn more, cause I aint no expert... Yet.

and here is a cool photo Ben took of a dog that was ontop of a garage. His owners had built him a platform, perch thing.
