Burguete, Spain to Zubiri, Spain

Written on May 19, 2009....14 miles.

Today we walked through pastures, medieval villages and right past the biggest bull I have ever seen. Once again we saw several of the pilgrims who we had seen at St. Jean Pied de Port and Refugio Orisson.

Today I noticed that a beautiful yellow flower growing in the middle of a stream provided the same warmth as a smiling face. Today we were mainly sustained by chocolate, bread, jamon and cheese.

As I write this we are laying on a mattress with our sleeping bags in a large gym with about 20 other pilgrims. The cost for this hostel is 4euros per person, (about $5.20).

We saw Bob as soon as we entered the village of Zubiri. They are staying in a pension. They need 3 keys to enter their room...very private.

Bob and Kathy have a good pace. They don´t have any problem getting to a village and finding the lodging of their choice.

I have a very slow pace. I have tried to persuade Vern to go ahead and get us 2 beds but he insists on staying close by....he is a keeper!
