Today was our day to overcome jet lag and we did it by getting up and walking all over St Jean. This picture is the view from our hostel. We went to the pilgrim's office and got our starting stamp in the credential we must carry with us showing we are pilgrims. This has to be stamped each day in the places you eat, sleep, or go to church. Next we got a knife and the scallop shells that are the traditional symbol of the pilgrim. And then we walked all over town touring the citadel, museum. And other sights here. They are very proud of their Basque history, so we saw many signs of that around. Tomorrow is our hardest day so we are going to sleep now to wake early. We are both very eager to begin.
