Buen Camino

There is anticipation in the air. 

Josh and I arrived at our Albergue (hostel) this morning in Pamplona after a sleepless night outside a fairly fridge French Train station. 

Arriving to our albergue and re-packing my now-seeming ginormous pack made this reality seem real at last!  

We thus proceeded to wash our already filthy clothes today while chilling at the Albergue. Oh boy it was a riot, and since we are too cheap for to use the washers here at the hostel we decided to wash them all buy hand. I remember at one time I thought, "this is so fun, why don't we do this more often?" Then the voice of reason chimed in (Josh), "Because we have machines that can do it for us…" Anyway it was fun. Now, I only if they would dry… 

Tomorrow before the sun fully comes up we set out on the way for our first destination Puente la Reina. It is about 23 kilometers (14.5 miles) and I am just so ready to hit the trail. With a Spanish baguette in one hand, and a perfect little sized packet of left over Bode (bodenseehof) jam in the other, I will be ready to take on the Camino! (Oh and the jam is Raspberry, of course) 

Buen Camino!
