Donna's "Getting to St. Jean"

Day 1

The trip from Atlanta to St Jean Pied de Porte was extremely smooth but quite a long day being in pretzel pose so we were glad to finally arrive at Hotel ratmanchu and to stretch out flat.

This hotel was central to everything and so we struck out to get our "credentials" and to get some food.   Our luck continued as we happen to select a wonderful restaurant with an outdoor courtyard and had our first pilgrim menu.  It was a fabulous salad, roast chicken. Potatoes and a dessert.  One of the things Kim and I are enjoying the most is the cafe au lait.

After feeling human again We struck out to find the start of the  Napoleon way and to admire the charming Medieval city of St Jean.
