Should this be Day 2, since most of yesterday was travel, so really should be called Day Zero? Things that keep you awake at night. Last night only the biological clock interfered with sleep, and that only slightly.
Today was largely spent on housekeeping – like getting a SIM card for the phone. Apparently there is only one place in St. Jean that sells them – a computer store that retails thumb drives for $48, as an example. It turns out (we think) that they only sell the card itself- you have to go to the ‘tabac’ to buy the data for it. Which is on the other side of town, essentially. The ‘tabac’ lady is quite happy to take your money, but you ‘have to go back to the card store’ to ‘ have them make an adjustment to your phone’. Back at the computer store she said it is all as it should be. But we still cannot connect to the internet. This was all so easy in Italy. Tomorrow after our walk we can pick which of these ladies to annoy first. The Canadian cell phone rates may be high, but when you walk out of the store, it works.
The weather is looking good for tomorrow’s walk – this morning had a high fog that quickly burned off, leaving a clear warm day.
I’m very excited to see the new ‘camino food’ section! Those first sandwiches actually look pretty good….
Happy birthday Mary Anne – have a great walk today!
Hope all goes well from this point onward.
