We were soooo tired last night that we decided to sleep in. Well, Dad slept in. Result...we left one hour forty-five min later than ideal in order to get to our goal city. So we stopped 2 1/2 miles early but we can prob make it up tomorrow.
All muscles are much better. Expect total recovery by tomorrow.
Leaving Pamplona in the morning we walked through old city, new city, and campus of Navarra University. We followed metal disks with the shell symbol evgraved upon them which were embedded in the sidewalk and the pavement of the streets like this
Everything was great, yep. Until suddenly there weren't any!! We certainly were not lost, but somewhere along the way we'd let go of the iron rod and had gone astray. Our plan was to retrace our steps when suddenly a nice Spanish lady stopped. She said, "peregrinos?" Well yes, obviously- two people in hiking attire with backpacks each with the scalloped shell
Here is university campus.
We spent the rest of the day walking through farm land. It was beautiful.
Fava beans (another name broad beans)
Rape seed (think canola oil)
Wait - there's a farmer in there
Beautimous vistas and oat fields
Windmills ion the ridge
Famous statues depicting a band of medieval pilgrims pressing forward against the wind. "Where the way of the wind meets the way of the stars."
And two modern ones
Over the ridge down the hill/steps
Right at the sign
Tha alberge is so nice! I almost feel guilty. I am not suffering. I'm pampered. And the shower was great
