Day 5 ending in Najera

I’m beginning to suspect that I’m doing something wrong.

Each day keeps getting easier. I’m shaping up it seems.

Got to my accommodations today before they opened at 1. Had a nap and a look around at the town.

I was up pretty early so I just got going
Another pilgrim hospital, from 1290

The main attraction in town, a monastery
Pretty fancy
Site of an ancient battle,  apparently with a giant. The giant lost.

April 7 ending in Logrono (day 4)

Very nice walking today. There was a bit through a pine forest that was so much like the high desert in oregon, it was like being there.

A long hot day tomorrow, then some rain later this week. I’ll welcome it.

We passed into a new province today. It’s lots drier and the vegetation changed.

A remembering place
Left some of mom’s ashes here
Spring is going strong here. The lilacs are blooming too
Some kind of daisy?

Day 3 Estella to Sansol

I went a little further today than planned to make tomorrow easier.

It worked out well. The hostel I’m at is a little iffy but the vibe is good. Had an okay meal here and some good convo.

Another lucky day with the weather
There were sheeps grazing
