Walking in Navarre

Walked from Villamayor to Torres del Rio. Beautiful hills and slopes of early wheat-- luscious green, with poppies and daisies in the hedgerows. Overcast, slight breeze. Walked from7:30 to 2 pm-- worn out now. At Internet cafe. Will take bus to Logrono. Last night hiked to castle of Sancho the strong: one of most invincible fortresses In 9th century-- 360 degree view of lush valley. Birdsong. Remembering songs of my childhood. Andy is being patient and helpful with me: two days ago we got lost and confused-- thank God for cell phones--- finally found each other. I am so slow, it is hard for him to wait for me. People we talk with are like characters in the Canterbury tales!

It sounds like you and Andy are easing nicely into the rhythm of the Camino. I loved the photos he posted on Facebook especially the one of your solar backpack. Stay safe, have fun and keep writing. I'm looking forward to hearing about some of your fellow pilgrims. --Pat
