i only have a few minutes of time so this will be quick. i continue to have a wonderful time. i am slowly adjusting to the masses of people and am embracing the new experience. dinner at the albergue (hostel) tonight was wonderful. not only was the food great but the company was great. there were five germans, two koreans and me at my table.
last night i was in pamplona. a friend and i decided to forego the 100 plus person albergue Jesus y Maria and went with a recommended pension. we had to laugh. it was better in the sense that there were just two of us in the room instead of 100 but it was pretty dodgy. we went out to try the famous tapas. the first bar we went to we didn´t know what to do. we were sitting next to two spanish men who were obviously pilgrims by the way they were dressed. i asked (in my best spanish) if they could please help us and they were wonderful. i held my own in spanish with them although one of the men was very fluent in english. they explained that all the tapas in all the bars will be excellent and you just go up to the counter and look in the cases to see what looks good. he did recommend a particular tapa from a particular bar so we went there and it was good.
tomorrow i am not sure how far i will walk. i thought i would make puente la reina today but we had a late start this morning and called it a day at uterga. for anyone else interested in walking this stretch i would highly recommend the albergue camino del perdon. the dorm isn´t great but at least there are only 16 of us. the dinner was wonderful though.
one other thing before i run out of time - i have run into two groups of american university students. it has been wonderful to watch these ´kids´on their amazing camino adventure.
all for now!
Okay, the last few nights would have to have sucked for you. I snore like crazy...I might have done okay but honestly, it's sounding more and more like a cattle call of sorts. I know you must be caught up in the excitement though and it's still got to be wonderful!!! I am reading a long and thinking, "maybe she can find a good hotel and treat herself..."
