So. Today was a bit of a gonger, but let me start with something more important.
Cashews. Nut of the gods. I KNOW how great cashews are (LIV), trust me, in every sense. When I was given this delightful gift by the flight attendant on the way to Paris, I quickly stashed them in my purse for later enjoyment.
There I was, a few hours later, sitting on the floor in Terminal 2, ready for my nut-nuts. I open them up and they explode all over the floor, with only a few that fell on my pants remaining sterile enough for ingestion. So I threw the rest at the birds. They liked it. I did hit a bird, but hey, he ate it anyway. Moving on.
AHEM.
Yesterday we hiked 8 k.m. from the beginning of the Camino, St. Jean Pied du Port, uphill to this tiny spot. It was a horrible, agonizing trip and we found a hostel in a town called Orisson that consists of, well, a hostel on the side of a huge mountain.
We stayed there, enjoyed a hot shower and some cold weather and took off today on a 19 k.m. hike.
We were in the clouds all day long. It was windy, damp and cold. I feel PRETTY good, I won´t lie. Becky might hit me if she reads that.
Regarding the ol´Chekan, I am so, so very proud of her. She is really pushing herself and should be regarded by many as a hero. Now that we are in Spain, things will be easier as there are no gargantuan mountains to scale, so that may ease her pain.
Love you all. Miss you. Running out of internet time!
Love you Chris.

Well done miss. Manny says hi, and says to keep on truckin'.
We're all excited for you both.
The only thing you're missing in Canada is our country being ruined by Stevie Harper and his neandratols, and Dionne and well Dionne.
Great post. Weather is TOO hot here. Seriously, like almost 40C some days. I love you too.
PS-Maybe you could give Becky a piggy back some of the way. lol
hahaha, ok so you have a good excuse about the nuts...lol
You guys are friggin amazing for hiking that many kilometers uphill!
Hope the rest of the week is a little more problem free, cant wait to hear from you guys again!
Wow, I think I'm having sympathy pains...my hips and ankles just started to throb.
You are both insane, and there is way too much talk about cashews on this blog.
Have either of you found Jesus yet?
