9.9 miles

I am now 9.9 miles along the trail, headed for Roncesvalles - last stop on the first section of the journey.

In real life, I did a slightly longer walk today, plus a lot of walking while grocery shopping.

The advantages of this being a virtual trip:
1. 9.9 miles would be a very poor showing for a real Camino, would barely have made it to the first refuge/hostel. Only walking a mile or two in real life means that I can sleep in my own bed.
2.  Instead of a 30 pound backpack, I'm walking with a small fanny pack that probably weighs less than 2 pounds.
3.  I didn't see any wooded areas (or porta-potties) in the photos, so I would have had a slight (not so slight) problem in that regard.
4. No blisters!!!
