August 31 Estella


We left Cirauqui at 7am, one hour earlier than usual. It was a different experience, as we were on el camino at dawn. The air was chilly and we could barely see the path markers. The other walkers (el peregrinos) were having their jolt of coffee as we passed by and greeted them with “buon camino”. There were a few peregrinos who passed us after a few kilometers, who were going double our distance. We met an interesting person from Holland who has been teaching English in Spain and is know studying English Teaching at a post secondary institute in Holland. Having already been to California, Mississippi, Italy, Ireland and Spain, she plans to continue her travels after completed her teaching program. Today we stopped in Estella, which is built along-side the river Ega. What is it with this town? Nine churches is a bit much! As we entered town we were greeted by a day-walker who lives in Estella and proceeded to engage in a conversation. He spoke no English, which allowed me to practice my Spanish, but he did manage to steer us in the right direction. See Pictures>>
