Walked around Pamplona this morning, and even attended mass at the cathedral. Looked for a sim card for our phones but the French sold both Georgette and I phones that are locked so cannot be used in Spain. Getting out of Pamplona was long but we reached Cizur Menor at lunch time and stopped at a bar for Cokes. The countryside is so big here, kind of like Montana when you think of "big sky" country. There are mountains everywhere but Pamplona and the valley we walked through today were rather low so there was a big UP today. It was nice walking through wheat fields and hay fields. At the pass was the iron monument to the pilgrims put up in the 1990´s at Alto de Perdon, which for some reason resonates with perdition to me as that is what the trek up there was like. Plus it was very windy, a sort of wind tunnel effect coming over the hill. The surrounding hills are covered with wind turbines making electricity. Then on the (oh no not another one!) downhill slope it started to rain so we had to pull out the rain gear quickly before it poured. I am going to try to post a photo of the monument and you can see the clouds in the background:
What! You can ride bikes?! Awww come on! Ha ha ha ha haaaaa! Great to see you are moving right along.
ReplyDeleteWhat are we walking for!!!!
ReplyDeleteThe cyclists can be really not nice. We had 3 women ride u behind us on a very narrow stretch and demand we move out of the way. Georgette told them, I'm Hungarian, "if you can tell me where I can move I will" and we didn't hear anymore from them. They waited until the path widened and they were then able to pass.
ReplyDeleteGood for her! Sometimes it take stating the obvious to get people to think about what they are asking for.
DeleteZooey that was meant to say "in Hungarian"
ReplyDeleteWhatever. Too much wine at dinner.
