• Day 6: Pamplona to Puente la Reina 24 km

    September 18, 2025 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 93 °F

    I said goodbye to Grace this morning 😢. She flew to London to visit friends for the weekend before heading back home. She has a stop in Chicago for one night so she can meet Baby Evelyn, and of course see Hanna and Josh, too. I’m definitely going to miss walking with her. ❤️
    Today’s walk was the longest I’ve ever done, and hopefully the longest I’ll ever do. 😆 I probably should have stopped sooner because the heat was intense. The temp was in the 80s in the morning, which wasn’t that bad, but it climbed into the 90s and hit 93° by the time I got to my hotel. I wouldn’t have pushed so hard, but I want to get to Lagrono for their San Mateo Festival which starts this weekend,, so I have a couple of long days of walking ahead of me.
    I’m too tired to write much tonight, but I can say that although it was super hot without much shade, it was still a good walk.
    Legs and feet are tired but feeling strong. 💪
