Pat & Peg caught up with me this morning - yes, we came down the stairs! Will probably not see them again until I'm home.
The bridge into Larrasonoia
My home for tonightSunday, August 30, 2015
My short walk today was very doable tho the map showed all downhill where the actual way was quite a bit up and down!! Am staying at Larronosia tonight. Have the paper sheet & pillowcase on my lower bunk bed. Others are coming in that have walked today from where I started yesterday! One Frenchman has walked the Camino 5 times!! I plan on walking to Pamplona tomorrow but suspect I will take a bus or taxi for the last part. Backpack will again be shipped! The young receptionist here at Municipal Albergue made a reservation for me at a pension in Pamplona - 15 euro w/shared bath or 17 w/private - an easy decision, huh???? Monika & I shared a double bed in pension last night. It was heaven to be on such comfortable peace!!! Having some doubts as to how much I'm going to walk...knowing the map isn't quite true to form, the easy sections I was planning on may never materialize...Today I had the thought that I think many people walk the Camino to be completative and peaceful. I feel that my life, mind, physical. etc. is basically always at a level of contentment so why I am I here??? Sightseeing, cultural, physically demanding, lots of fresh air, tan lines, meeting so many people from everywhere...those are all happening so perhaps the El Camino is doing it's magic!!

Glad all is well. Sounds like you are having an adventure and a wonderful time!
ReplyDeleteGreat blog!! Love the pix! Everyone will envy your bronze-ness when you get back to Omaha in October. Interesting insight on the contemplative/peaceful aspect...I'm with you; I could be perfectly calm and content during a civil war...but the scenery and new friendships will make it all worthwhile, I'm sure. Happy Walking!
ReplyDeleteYou are there for a reason, Jane.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy finding out what it is!
Happy adventures,
Esther
Thanks for filling us in. Great pics too!
ReplyDeleteGreat blogs, Jane! Thanks! You're there! You're walking, meeting other good folk, soaking up the sunshine & beauty, & being resourceful! Fantastic! Keep a-going! Thinking of you & praying, too! Smiles & Hugs!

ReplyDeleteYou. Are. Amazing!
ReplyDeleteI've been so out of the loop this summer, I didn't realize you were really, actually, going to do this. I love keeping track of all of this with a blog!
ONWARD!
The very definition of an adventure is that you don't know quite who you'll be when you come out at the other end! And you'll never know what will turn out to be the treasures when it's all done. Thanks for the updates! We're all rooting for you!
ReplyDeleteReplying to my own comment because there was another thing: perhaps your purpose is to provide an example of contentment to other pilgrims. You never know!
