Camino. It appears to be fine. However, when I returned to New York, I had
become so accustomed to the water in Spain that I got sick from our local
water. Best regards, Allan M.Harris</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

mountains<BR><BR></FONT></DIV>
<P>I have 2 questions:</P>
<P>1. Is there any problem drinking the water in the fountains or does
the water need to be treated or filtered?</P>
<P>2. I will be starting from Saint Jean Pied Du Port. It looks
like the first refugio is in Roncavalles, 27 km away. That seems like
too much to take on for my first day, especially since it involves going up
the mountain. Is is practical to camp in the mountains and do this
section in 2 or 3 days?</P><BR><BR><FONT size=2></FONT><B><FONT
