Etxebarria

I met several people at dinner last night. The main three were Baptiest, Gill, and Andrew. Andrew and I decided we would walk together to the monestary and Gill decided to join as well. We left pretty early and had a good start heading up the mountain. We moved further away from the sea so todays hike was quite hilly but we were thankful for aome cloud cover. It was a bit of a grind and the long days continue to put strain on the body. We made it to the Monestary by 1:30 and claimed our beds. As we settled in we meet many other pilgrims who had gotten there before us and we welcomed alot of poeple arriving. Man of the faces were familiar to us as we had crossed paths with many along the way. The Monks at the monestary brew there own beer and ferment wine and sell it out of a small shop they have there. I tried all three beers they had (large bottles of course) and we spent the night sharing stories of all our adventures. A large group of us decided we would all walk together the next day.Read more
