Los Arcos not Torres del Rio

We made it... a 30 km day. And 32 after dinner and shopping.

So the amazing things that have happened today. I have been walking with a pilgrim from West Virginia. We are both a little behind our schedule according to the book. We really wanted to catch up yesterday but we just didn't have it in us. So we relaxed at La Casa Mágica and it truly was amazing. No bunk beds, a bedside table and a massage. I could not have asked for more. Let me tell you the massage was out of this world.

Today we started early for Estella. We were trying to get to the monastery that gave free wine to pilgrims. There is also a webcam which is live. So my friend was coordinating with his wife so he could say hi. She set her alarm for 3 am and then he had to text her to wait an hour because we got lost. Actually, that his how he and I met we were both lost.

I am getting water. The wine faucet is behind me. Here is the link if you want to have a look.

Do you remember the stick I got the second day. I met a 79 year old pilgrim, teacher from Wales and he offered to put a string on my stick while we were at a blacksmith shop looking at some mementos.  He added a string and shared some stories. It was just a wonderful gesture and now I really have to figure out how to bring my stick home. 

There is so much more to share but it's 9:20 and we are planning a 28 km day tomorrow 

See you soon
