Najera the walk was lovely! Pt 1

It was a nice brisk and sunny morning. The start of our walk had a nice ascent to warm up the legs and lots of vineyards .

I had to get off the path to use the facilities and when I positioned myself between a thorn bush and some vineyard, a big ole Jack rabbit came hopping out. It was big and excitedly ran off into the farm. It was a fun surprise to see.

I walked with a Camino friend Kathy for a little while After about 2 hours walk we came around the corner and there was a musician sitting under a tree next to the vineyard.

We talked in Spanish - I don’t know exactly how because I am not fluent . He asked me my name and I said Trina and he said oh Trinidad or Arune ? I said Si’!!

He played a song for me with my name in it about the Camino and let me video him. He also had his own Sello (stamp). Watch the video below to hear the song.

Then I walked some more. I was solo for a hour or so and had my head down. I looked up briefly and saw a man and a dog sitting with his dog about 25 yards ahead and pulled my phone out to take a picture of the dog and the man laughed and pointed out next to me. I looked to my right and there was a whole bunch of sheep next to me. I didn’t even notice!

There are surprises like this that pop up on the Camino.

You can start to see the grapes forming on the vines in the vineyard.Read more
