May 29, today was a 29 kl walk through some of the prettiest scenery we have been through. Most of the day was in forest and mountain sides, not much to tell other than we got in early afternoon , found the Albergue in a village called Larrasoana. Its good to have the ol' paper sheets and pillow slips back, for that privilege ,1 euro extra.
 Everyone at the hostel is tired and seemed to find the supermercado, I'm guessing because everyone has a bottle of wine. The WiFi is so slow here that I tried to download two pictures, went to the wine store in town, came back, and finally sent them, at this rate, by the time I finish this blog I won't bee Abel two spell propaly.

This sign took me by surprise, two days in and I still have 800 kl to go, I have either been walking backwards in the dark, or I'm still in the bar thinking I'm walking............?
Again, a day of beauty, this region of Spain is so green and quiet and charming. Every village I walk through the people say hi to pilgrims and make sure we are on the right trail, having said that , I did have to double back a kilometer today,  I was talking to a Belgium guy and we both waltzed on by a Way marker and got lost for 5 milutes.

The guy I missed the sign with was from Belgium, his name is Gum, and that's pronounced Gum. I passed him on an uphill, and he says " you walk very fast, I see you yesterday"  I said I do, but depends on what I have on my mind at the time. Turns out he walked from his house in a village in Belgium outside Brussels, when he was lost in the Arden Forests, he ran into another guy from his same village, who he had never met, who was lost too, and walking to Santiago. This walk is so full of stories, and what's great, everyone shares.

so, outside in the courtyard where we are overnighting,its getting noisy, someone needs to be responsible and go talk to these guys,, that would be me, , right,,,I'll send photos.tomorrow of how that worked out. We get to and go through Pamplona tomorrow, where in the late 70s I ran with the bulls, I'd like to do that again on July 7th, but my enthusiasm isn't as great as it was then. go figure... Huh!

So, the noise outside is on the rise, the WiFi is slow, so I'm going to take one photo out there and I'll let you guess how the evening turned out.
