We have walked 3 stages starting in the beautiful province of Navarre in a Basque town called Estella.

Getting to the starting point from Dulles Airport was a series of adventures and close calls in itself, involving trains,  planes,  buses and feet.  Some day we will share the stories   The short version is,  we made it.

The first night we treated ourselves inadvertently to a 3 am moonlight walk in Estrella because of time zone confusion.

We’ve had 3 days of mostly sunny and hot weather. So far Anne’s left knee and other parts of both of us have held up… until Ed woke up this morning with the start of a cold. We still managed 7 km, 21 km and 10.5 km with some steep climbs especially today.

The Camino is much the same as our first encounter 10 years ago and definitely NOT in the 21st century. For one thing, wifi in some locations is not up to snuff. So posts on this blog will be intermittent at best
