Skip

After a nice walk around Old City Toulouse today, I took a flight to Madrid so that I can fly home tomorrow.   The nice twist as we made the skip over the Pyrenees was that the plane flew over the Camino path that had been walked the previous week.  Here is a shot of the Somport Pass and Jaca from above.  

 

Hop

Started the homeward trek by taking the train to Toulouse today.  

Around town

Stopped by some of the spots in the village of Lourdes where Bernadette lived as well as went by the cemetery where her family is buried.  St. Bernadette is incorrupt at the convent in Nevers. 

Lourdes

Spending the day visiting the basilicas, the Grotto, the baths, and taking in the lovely tranquility of the place.  

One last walk

The last 16km into Lourdes were gentle and smooth, along country roads in a soft rain.  The sore, tired blistered feet were thankful for the cool water.  

Arrived

Though a bit damp, made it safely here.  

Betharram

Made it from Arudy to Betharram.  Almost there.  Hoping to wall into Lourdes tomorrow.
