Pamplona! No bulls running today.

Today's walk was supposed to be easy (~9 miles) and it was easier than the previous days. However, in my effort to follow the guidebook 's "scenic route" suggestion, I managed to add another couple of miles getting lost before I gave up and returned to the main path. Previous to this trip, I had only known Pamplona because of the running of the bulls and Ernest Hemingway. The old city is really nice.

    Thanks for all the photos and info, Bill. We're enjoying watching your progress!
    We also stayed at Roncesvalles monastery. I don't think the wifi was working when we were there either. But it didn't matter, because Spain was playing France (I think) in the World Cup and everyone in the place was watching the one TV :-)

September Planning

 A week to go before I leave for the Camino!  I have been making a possible schedule and packing list.  I'm also starting this blog...  I don't know who'll be reading it, so please make a comment for me so I know. Here's the schedule.  There is almost no chance that I'll be exactly on this schedule.  Part of the Camino pilgrim experience is going without knowing exactly where you'll end up that day.  I have quite a bit of flexibility so if I need recovery days, it shouldn't be any problem.  I might want to walk slower too.  Days Walking Destination Notes Target Lodging Reserve ?
