Sleeping Arrangements

As we progress along the Camino we are learning so much about walking “The Camino.” It has become clear  you never know exactly what your sleeping arrangements may be like.  For instance, last night I (Chuck)slept with three women. It isn’t what you might be thinking (you dirty minded people). Actually we shared a room with two sets of bunk beds with two other Peregrinos who happen to be women. That is the way of the  Camino. 

Our daily walks take us through a variety of terrain and surfaces. It varies from asphalt, paver stone, soft forest soil to extremely rough rock and stone surfaces. After the Pyrenees the topography is called Spain flat which means your not crossing a mountain range. There are still many climbs and decents that are challenging. 

Today we arrived in Pamplona and haven’t seen a single bull so I guess we don’t need to run. Speaking of running with the bulls we did enjoy a beautiful lunch of grilled octopus ( polpo) and fried calamari ( calamares ) at the Iruma Bar which allegedly Ernest Hemingway used to hang out. ( Seems he hung out at a lot of bars throughout the world.)

Here are a few pictures from the last couple of days of places and people we have encountered.
