We have revised our strategy, and will try and not spend the nights in places that are typically the endpoints of the stages published in all the books. So here we are in Villatuarte, just east of Estella. The Albergue is wonderful, very homelike with no bunks, all single beds, 5 to 6 per room. We arrived early after an easy walk of only 17 or so km. and not too much uphill. We are slowing down and I think getting into the spirit of the Camino. Folks who are rushing around really seen to irritate me. We have been fortunate with the weather, no rain, and rather cool, which has been great for walking. Our major tasks of the day, aside from walking, are getting the laundry done, and shopping for lunch, and of course looking for a computer to update the blog. There are two German girls walking the Camino with their three dogs and we saw them here passing through town, much cheerier than several days ago. And the dogs seemed very happy.
Life has become simple and quite pleasant and the days are falling into a rhythm. The woman running this Albergue says that we are starting the "child" stage of the Camino, just having left the "baby" stage. We are moving on.
Adios for now
