Trinidad de Arre
photo taken January 11, 2010
Arriving here had been difficult since the CF path from Zubiri was covered with ice and snow; I had mainly walked on the verges of route N-135.
As the only pilgrim I could sleep not in the dorm but in a tiny cell behind the church altar in my sleeping bag covered with their blankets but NO heat ! All truly was freezing!!

Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port,
55 rue de la Citadelle
photo taken October 13, 2015
The famous red door of the municipal albergue with its welcoming shell was ajar. Crossing that special threshold symbolically always began my new camino adventure; it is a magical entrance to another way of life, the camino way....Serendipity prevails.
For me the Camino Frances could ONLY begin at Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port, this picturesque Basque mountain town in the French Pyrenees.

From the Baztan, 2017.
Nearing the top of the highest hill of this short but hilly camino, the way climbs above tree line on an ancient road. The edges are marked by massive standing stones, presumably winter waymarks.

Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

VDLP section between Embalse del Alcántara and Cañaveral. Ghostly sheep appearing in the mist. A beautiful day. My walking friend and I continued to Grimaldo because (there no longer being an Albergue at the embalse ) we had taken a taxi from
Casar de Cásares to the embalse ..to start the day from the embalse …. .

Porte de Saint Jacques
photo taken October 14, 2015
A new day was dawning in the eastern sky beyond the medieval Porte; soon my last camino would begin as I turned away from the Porte to walk west toward Orreaga/Roncesvalles on the original pass through the mountains which rises from the Cols des Cize/Urhart-Cize on the east to Ibaneta on the west.

I took the following photo in Le Puy as I started on the Via Podiensis in May 2022 ...
I was a little disappointed. I thought I could make out that it was a scallop shell that basically indicated the transition from the city of Le Puy, into the Camino countryside. I wished I could have gotten a higher perspective. But then I realized there is a better perspective ... from Google maps! Et voilá

towards Valcarlos, arrow
photo taken February 6, 2007
Just after dawn in a cold mist I set off alone thrilled to be moving towards new adventures on this 3rd CF but my first in winter. As always I would follow the Valcarlos alternate route.
Signage on the Valcarlos route often included miniscule yellow arrows rather randomly attached to trees, logs, etc. One often hoped that you were going the right way!

The Valcarlos route is so special. It begins innocently enough, with flat-ish road walking. The hills up there are to be crossed, today.

At Arnéguy on the French/Spanish border this stelle depicting chevaliers/ caballeros framed a nearby sign pointing to the Spanish continuation of the CF towards Luzaide/Valcarlos, Ibaneta, and Orreaga/Roncesvalles.

On the Valcarlos way, above Gainekoleta the way follows the valley and then starts to get seriously steep. Up there, the moss is glorious. Frances March 2015

Too bad the photo doesn't come with scent.
We plant and tend it in gardens, but isn't it lovely to see it growing wild?
