One week from today Kent and I will be departing for the American Pilgrims on the Camino Gathering in Menlo Park, California, and less that a week after that, on April 17, will arrive in Paris. From there we'll take the train to Bordeaux and then to Toulouse, where on Saturday, April 21, we hope to begin the 449 km (about 280 mile) walk to Puente la Reina in Spain along the Chemin d'Arles (Tolosana) and Camino Aragones.
We have been walking along the irrigation ditch banks in our new boots nearly every morning for the past three weeks, hoping to be somewhat ready. Now we are trying out our packs: what to take and what to leave? Less is more.

Linnea: While in Toulouse, please walk down La rue du Taur (where I lived as a student) on your way to the Cathedral of St. Sernin. And enjoy la Provence, le Languedoc and the historic South on your way to Spain.
