Hi Diane,

Thank you for this.  I went through some of my filed CAMINO emails and
Sue Kenney suggested walking to Hontos see below:

Both options seem workable.  I also thought that if there is still snow
around that I would taxi to Roncesvalles and start there .... come back
at the end and walk the Route Napoleon.  Maybe not the same feeling
involved but ...

Thanks again ...
