arzacq

hi my friends,
i have seen the pyrenees and they are bigger than i remember and more beautiful. actually, because they are still snow covered the contours are more visible and that makes them more dramatic;and they are really close. holy cow.
i am also seeing flowering lavendar now and yellow arrows showing the way. both exciting things for ,e. the yellow arrows are used in spain and seeing them makes me realize spain is possible.
kathleen has decided to go home. her husband is coming to spain and picking her up somewhere along the way. he's renting a car and i picture him drivning by and swooping her up. i will miss her but look forward to walking by myself at the same time. so i am happy.
ok. there is a line for this computer so i have to go.
bye.
love
mary

Mary, it was good to hear your voice on Wed, although I don't think you got to hear mine!? I'm 'home alone' this weekend, as I have a volunteer gig on Sat. Enjoy your solitude amongst the rest of the walkers! ommimh

Mary,
I loved talking to you and have been thinking of you and Kathleen. I am sure she is disappointed and in pain but what an adventure she has had already.
This route or the weather must be somewhat more rigorous, with you in tatters already! Quality could not take that much of a nose dive in 2 years could it?
I amno surprised that you are holding up so much better than your equipment! Love hearing from you.
Love you,
Barb

Following your walk with interest and envy - it's a great place to be.
Looking forward to walking in Spain in Septemebr.
I remember the first glimpse of the Pyrenees from perhaps 100km away - breathtaking.
Keep well!
Ultraeia!
