And on the seventh day we walked

Hiked our first stage to refuge Orrison, an 8 km uphill climb with beautiful views, wildflowers, bulls, donkeys, goats, snails, sheep and fellow pilgrims. Made our way into the mist until we arrived the small refuge with a rest stop cafe where we would spend the night with about 50 other Pilgrims from all over the globe, USA, France, Spain, Portugal, Japan, Ireland, Holland, Thailand, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and more.

After our pilgrims dinner the tradition of going around the room taking turns for each person to introduce themselves and briefly state why they are walking the Camino. Each had his or her own reason and all seemed heartfelt. The food was good, the people were kind, and the atmosphere is quaint.

Lights out at 10 pm so we are all in our bunks. Hopefully we will be rested and up for breakfast by 7 then hitting the trail to Roncesvias Spain over the peak tomorrow at 8.

Buenos noches!Читать далее
