This morning after breakfast Vern and I, Bob and Kathy started our Camino. We left the hostel and walked left down a cobblestone street through a stone archway passing through the old town. At one time this part of town was a citadel. Once over the moat we started our long climb through the Pyrenees. Beautiful green, rolling hills and rock mountains dotted with sheep and cattle. Horses were walking on the road. After 3 1-2 hours and 4 to 4 1-2 miles of steep incline we came to our next and final reserved hostel, Refugio Orisson. Refugio Orisson is a beautiful hostel which is expanding anually to accomodate the growing number of pilgrims. We had a room with 4 beds and a private bathroom with a beautiful view of 3 mountain ranges, granite peaks, white farm houses with red roofs. Tomorrow we continue the steep incline for 11 miles to Ronscavelles.
Today we saw Susan and her friend a few other people that we have met in SJPDP.
