Our flight went from Albuquerque to Dallas to Madrid to Pamplona. The flight out of Dallas took off an hour late but made up an hour due to a strong jet stream pushing us from behind so we arrived in Madrid on time. Still a tight connection but doable. Unfortunately in Madrid we mislaid a boarding pass and had to go a long way to get another one and missed our flight time. But after we thought we had missed the flight, we found out it was leaving an hour late and we made it. Whew.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pamplona is a big city \u2014 200,000 \u2014 but has a tiny airport, not sure why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We got a taxi to the hotel. The driver was chatty and said there were a lot of pilgrims this year. We asked him if the people in Pamplona got tired of pilgrims and he said (paraphrasing ) “no they are good for business, even if they are not big spenders.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tapas for dinner (called Pintxos here in Basque country — remember “The Way?”) Actually Pintxos are different from tapas in that they can usually be eaten without a fork.  More like finger foods.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Our first fried eggs and toast breakfast.  The toast was heavenly. We had one with olive oil and tomate and the other with butter and “mermelada” (Spanish word for jelly).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
