FIRST DAY!!!

This morning we set out on our 500 mile journey on foot to Finnesterre, Spain.  The first 15 miles heads up over the Pyrénées and down the other side to Roncesvalles, Spain.  Which is where we are staying tonight.  The hike today was mostly uphill and steep at times.  But at the end there was a steep downhill for a mile or two that was equally (if not more) difficult.  The whole time we were walking though sheep farms in the highlands and the only sound we could hear was the tinkering of the sheeps bells and the "bahh" of the sheep (and the occasional jet).  I also ran into a local shepherd at the top of the one mountain.
