Day 4: Arre just before Pamplona

Sitting in a garden at the albergue attached to a church built in the 10th century relaxing after a 22k walk from Zubiri. ' To walk fast, walk alone - to walk farther, walk together.'( South African saying ) that really had meaning today, Our foursome is wonderfully supportive, interesting and good natured. We're calling ourselves the Camino ACES - for Australia, Canada, England and Scotland.

We were glad to leave Zubiri, a small industrial town to walk through forested paths through picture perfect villages. The spring flowers have blanketed the countryside, a welcome sight after our Canadian winter. We stopped for lunch at an outdoor cafe beside a babbling brook
taking in all its beauty.

The ACES are going to Pamplona tomorrow and will most likely go our own way after that - time constraints and specific goals

I'll miss my new friends and it will be an opportunity to be a bit more cpntemplative.

Sending blessings from sunny warm Spain
