Day Three

I arrived at Pamplona in record time, off to sight see, will let you know what the day brings...much love, dawn The day was quiet, it is a festive city, coming to life in the evenings with tons of families in the squares. Had a great Pilgrim Dinner and looking forward to the start of another day of what I like to call the T&H Factor...Turtle (this would be me) and the countless Hares who run past you then stop for an hour or more, then run past you, stop for an hour or more, only to end up far behind you at the end of the day...they spend the day trying to catch up from the time loss doing 'other stuff' it tends to make me smile and try not to say politely...it is not a race. But there is a factor of space in the Municipal Albergues which do fill up...still seems a bit frantic...perhaps it just reminds me of myself too often over the years Ñ= for now, I will just turtle my way along as tomorrow is a long day with another (yep!) hill to climb. Pete is getting lighter, perhaps from the use of the stuff in my bag, or simply from me finding a way to just be for now and let him ride it out... Here is also a special note to my dear friend Dana who lost her Mama recently. I will take her with me along my trek; we will see the sites and she will have a permanent Caron here along the Camino. I will let you know when I find her spot! Big Hugs to you my amazing friend, I am there in heart! Continued Side Note: I gave Isabeta a pair or thin socks to put inside her existing thicker socks to see if they would help provide more give and less impact or friction to her already distroyed feet, she thanked me in Italian and off she went hobbling towards the next phase of her Camino, I was certainly humbled to see the determination!
