Pamplona Spain

Made it to Pamplona, 15 mile day, gradually increasing our daily mileage. It was a great day. I'll post more after a couple beers, some tapas and sleep.
4 am update:
So our walk from Zubiri to Pamplona was a beautiful one. The terrain was wonderfully varied without any of the strenuous uphill climbs and knee straining downhills of the last couple days. It was mostly forested and we had the chance to take scenic paths along a few rivers. We all seemed to feel very good, our bodies adapting to the task at hand.

One thing we've noticed about our encounters along the way with people here--locals, not pilgrims--is that nobody really seems interested in giving you any response or reaction when you say "hello". Perhaps our home is the exception rather than the rule?

Pamplona, from what we've seen is like any major city. Our experiences are limited but it was extremely difficult to catch a cab here.

Our next walk is to Obanos and we have one big climb up to Alto Perdon, which is the windy mountaintop home to the famous metal silhouette pilgrim sculptures. More to come tomorrow!
