On an unknown road

 Somewhere after Navarrenx, in the Basque country, nearing the Pyrenees

"I’d rather be stumbling along an unknown road
than safely cooped up in even the nicest cul-de-sac"
~Paul

I loved walking down this wet path, under the shelter of trees dripping with the rain. It was refreshing and enlivening. And flat and easy- which was not to be the case on the chemin later in the day!

  2. Yes, it's a shame more people don't start their Camino back somewhere like Navarrenx or even before- just to experience it.

  3. In fact, Kiwi, and I think I may have said this before - I enjoyed the Le Puy-St Jean path even more than the Spanish section! I think about all the routes I've done often; they seem to attach themselves very deeply within you.
