Flight reserved for a July 30th departure to eastern France.  Then a flight on August 5th to Bilbao, Spain for the beginning of an adventure on foot.  We decided to walk versus bikes only because we have plenty of time to complete the 375 miles to Compostela de Santiago.  We are in no rush as there are no return tickets so it is to plan as we go.  Typical cruiser attitude hard at work doing nothing.    Jul 30:  We are 30 minutes from entering the 747 to Frankfurt, Germany - the stage is set for the adventure to begin - how exciting.  Are we prepared for what we will encounter.  Time will tell with the first step on el camino.
