Topography of the terrain I have walked

Sept. 4 Thursday from St. Jean Pied de Port to Roncesvalles, Spain
Traversing this Pyrenees was an exhilarating experiences as it so beautiful up the top & I was above the clouds over the valley. It took me 13 1/2 hours to traverse it. I was the last one to arrive at the Municipal Albergue which was full, the Monastery was full so I was placed in the trailers 4 bunks each, 6 women & 1 man. No hot water because everybody had already showered.

Perergrinos on the way to Sto. Domingo de la Calzada Sept. 13 Saturday

Rudy for Switzerland pulls his pack on a dolly carrier, how smart is that? He reminded me of Ursula from Germany who pulls a luggage cart. I believe they hike a lot so they know a few tricks.

Sept.13 Saturday Najera to Sto. Domingo de la Calzada

This marker gives the km to Santiago, I timed myself from this marker to the next & I did it in 25 minutes meaning that I am walking 1 mile in 1/2 hrs. Just like when I was training. The terrain is worst than just pavement.
