Tuesday, May 13th - Cizur Menor

Yesterday was a short day taking us from Pamplona to a refuge in a small town half a dozen kilometres to the west. After four days of cloud, rain and wind, we enjoyed a picnic of chorizo de Pamplona, relaxing under a bright sun in the garden of the refuge. A good pilgrim´s dinner in a nearby restaurant. The atmosphere in the dormitory for twelve, with the nearby church bell sounding every thirty minutes was a different experience. Tonight we are in a hotel, after having climbed the Cuesta del Perdon.

More coincidences on route. Nadia and Samir Kassissieh, good friends from Wellesley, are on the Camino about a week ahead of us. We are in touch by e-mail.

Sorry there is no picture posted this morning, but we have to get under way. I will try to do two this evening.

John and Encarnita
