    Climbing towards the church in Navarrete.
    Searching for today's albergue.These vines near Navarrete were some of the most grape laden we've seen.The ruins of a very old pilgrims hostel, established in 1185, lie a short distance from Navarrete.1Getting close to Navarrete.Looking back at the path we'd walked from Logroño.A reservoir in Parque Guajera leaving Logroño.1These fish in the park looked like they wanted a handout.This looked like a swan...An ornate representation of Nuestra Señora de Rocío in the park.We appreciated the shady paths in the park.A baker at Cafetería Moka, where we enjoyed our second breakfast.These fallen leaves and the cool early morning temperatures herald fall's approach.

    We started this morning with slices of tortilla, coffee, and orange juice breakfast a little less than a kilometer from our hotel in Logroño.

    Not long after we started walking again, I told Allan that if we came across a pastelería I could go for something sweet—and three steps after the words left my month we saw one.
