The Pyrennes

We spent a few days driving through the Pyrennes, the mountain range between France and Spain. Homer did well on all the mountain passes, while Neil did all the difficult driving, I enjoyed the magnificent scenery. We saw the Pyrennes from the French, Spanish and Andorran perspectives, too. Quite by accident, we found ourselves often on the Carmin De Santiago, a 1200km trail from France across the mountains and all the way to Santiago on the north western corner of Spain. Done by pilgrims in the middle ages, it has become popular for tourist-pilgrims to walk at least part of the way these days. We also found our way to another very religious site, Lordes, where 7 million Catholics visit each year.
