Oh wait, we just did the Pyrenees on days one and two and haven't had a recovery day. Mind you, these hills two days ago would have been nothing, but today they sucked.
Let's rewind
Roncesvalles was a great stop, we connected with so many pilgrims from so many countries! The Camino was always very much an international track unbucked the numbers of international people in the variety has increased at an exponential rate. We had the communal dinner which was plenty fine but nothing to write home about so I won't. The company we had at the dinner table was wonderful and we all got along very well.
Afterwards most of us went to the pilgrim mass to receive blessings for our treck and after that off to an early bed. I was out long before they shut off the lights. Of course, it didn't fail that someone had to wrestle through their bags at 5:00 a.m. and someone else had to to have their alarm go off at 5:30 only to look at it, Shut it off and go back to sleep. Lynne apparently did not get much sleep, I can't say the same. I Proudly proclaimed my victory to an early sleep for everyone to enjoy!
You struck off early this morning from Ron says Baez making a few stops at the various towns but otherwise walking with intent and purpose. We knew it was chilly this morning but we also knew the temperature was going to rise fast. The descendant is a berry just seemed to suck more than it did 10 years ago as the path is more eroded with layered shale underneath training at the nickname dragon's teeth.
We are checked into one of the best rated albergues in town. We opted not to participate in the communal meal tonight as we were both starving as we came in and after we had a"light" lunch, We had zero room for anything else. Www. As a matter of fact, all we have enjoyed since our lunch is a pink lemonade ice cream bar, which was as good as you think it could be and maybe even a little bit better.
Tomorrow, tomorrow Pamplona! I will meet up with my friend Charlton and we will fulfill a pack the two of us made almost 3 years ago. From there on we will see where the path takes us.
