Pilgrims in our day


In the previous email, the hikers are actually pilgrims that walk (some ride bikes) hundreds of miles from the middle of France, through theses towns, Navarrenx in particular, over the Pyrenees mountains into Spain.  Their pilgrimage ends at a church in the NW of Spain purportedly founded by St. James himself.  As you can see, these "pilgrims" are pretty well outfitted - as if they bought all their shoes and hiking equipment at REI.  They stay at reduced rates at the lodges marked with a seashell on the side of the lodge.
