We are back home in Wageningen safe and sound after spending about 2 weeks hitchhiking through France, down to Spain, and around the Pyrenees mountains. We spent most of our time in 'Spain' in the Catalonia and Basque regions which have their own languages and seek independence. Nevertheless, I was able to happily practice my dusty high school Spanish. For a while, we followed the Camino de Santiago through some of the pilgrimage towns of Jaca, Pamplona, Logrono, and Burgos which all had well persevered stone town centers and churches.
Once again, the generosity of the world and strangers has surrounded us on our travels. Special thanks to...
