We walked 29k today through vibrantly yellow fields of canola, blue skies and quiet villages. The climb up to Alto de Perdon seemed never ending - I'm certainly getting a good cardio workout!
At the very top, flanked be wind mills stands a compelling monument of ancient pilgrims - see below. Onwards to the beautiful old church of Santa Maria de Eunate that had connections with the Knights Templar. It was deeply moving
- the tears just flowed.
Now at the Jukue after a filling meal with the first real veggies I've seen in days! Tomorrow Estella and possibly rain... Blessings from a sunny,very warm day .
Eunate is on my list for next time! Wonderful that you took the detour there.
ReplyDeleteSo, how are your feet - any blisters?
What are you eating? Today was your first fresh vegetables? What about breakfast?
Are you enjoying the cafe con leche?
Did you make the right decisions about your equipment?
Just some ideas about what I want to know in your blogs.
Spain in spring is marvelous, as I remember.
Blessings

Marusia! I'm soooo enjoying your blog! both the words and the photos...
ReplyDeleteIs it hard doing all that walking? is it easy to find albergues once you enter into a town?
I love that your ACE pod - too funny.
Keep trekking, girl - we're all with you in spirit!
love,

Just caught up on your journey thus far - so wonderful to see your photos and read your stories! We had our first dance with Kathy tonight, and I thought of you many times...So sweet to have her here, and I can feel you way over there, moving along your own path, as we move ours here - all of us just taking one step at a time. Keep dancin' down that road! xo
