We started our first day of walking by making our way through the Pyrenees mountains. Well worth the extra travel in order to walk through the clouds and see some fantastic sites. Finally walking, our adrenaline kept us going for some time. One of our verses for the day was "I lift my eyes to the hills - from where will my help come from?", very appropriate. Mountains and hills make us look up physically; the Camino continues to take physical realities and point us to spiritual ones.
Throughout the day's walk, we had pilgrim's in front of us and behind us. It's comforting to know others have gone before and others will follow. We are helped by those ahead and can help those behind us ("surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses").
We continue to meet different pilgrims from around the world and hear their story and share ours.
