We've been out of the country for a week at this point. On this day, June 13th, we gladly had an uneventful day. We left Puente La Reina around 7am feeling pretty accomplished that we were making gains on those endless kilometers and goals pointing us in the right direction.
We had some beautiful views along the rises and dips of our trail. We kept ourselves busy and amused, too.
I met Ann Marie from California and we strolled along exchanging stories and being hopeful for all that our Camino would bring.
We came across our very first open air "donativo" - table set up specifically for pilgrims as they walk the Camino. Snacks, water, or little offerings that anyone could take for the price of whatever you could afford. On this morning, we found tostadas with olive oil and lots of nuts. It is the sweetest way to realize that the pilgrims are always cared for as they walk their own way.
By the time we arrived at our destination of Estella, I realized I was earning my first blisters on the pad of my feet. All of those lovely stairs are my favorite. Ugh.
