Rodrigo also taught me how to shave slices of jamon off for lunch. The closest American comparison I can think of is somewhere between bacon and jerky. It was delicious!

Pamplona to Puente la Reina
We had a great visit with Eva and Rodrigo in Pamplona and started down the trail this morning feeling nicely efreshed. Today's walk was almost exactly like I imagined the Camino and tonight's albergue is much nicer than I imagined while researching the Camino. We spent the day walking through fields and past wind turbines under mostly clear skies.
Rodrigo and I discovered we have a similar appreciation for the mountains and spend some time sharing photos from Alaska and Patagonia.
Parting ways with Eva as we returned to the trail.
Hiking up El Perdón under wind turbines. These were apparently the first turbines installed in the area.
I walked right up the the base of this one. It was a little smaller than the biggest I've seen but still impressive to see and to hear.
This girl has a brilliant business model selling cold lemonade on a dry hot hiking trail with lots of traffic.
All of the albergues have been nice but we had a pool tonight which was awesome after hiking all morning in the sun...

Really nice to open your last chapter, that is today, and look at all the pics!!! Rodrigo is very happy to share with you that strong feeling for the mountains. In fact I think both Patagonia and Alaska are amazing places...
