Hi Charlie: From Madrid we had a six hour bus ride to Pamplona. On the three hour layover we got our Spanish SIM cards and some very nice pinxos, the Basque word for tapas. Then another hour bus ride to Roncesvalles.
This all added up to almost 30 hours without much sleep so we were exhausted. Not the only ones. On the bus there was an older man maybe 60, who read lying down in the aisle of the bus for the whole trip. A Spanish woman asked him something to the effect of “What the hell?° (it did seem very odd) and he said that he had been up all night on a plane and very tired.
I find it interesting that your definition of an older man is “maybe 60” Not sure what that implies as to the author(s) – I personally do not see either one of you as “older” .
Glad you traveled safe – enjoy your adventure! Looking forward to following it.

Hi Charlie and Wynette, It sounds like you’ve had a long tiring start to your adventure. I’m sure it will be easier when you have a little more control of your surroundings and circumstances. We are anxious to follow along as you make your way to your destination. Joe Zell (I don’t know whether you expect to hear from more than one Joe. If not, I’ll just use my first name).
Ditto what Russell said about the ‘older man’! Especially since I am ‘Mom’!
