Post by Wynette: We walked 9.6 miles today. (Charlie walked an additional 1.2 miles to buy us some grocery store food for our dinner.)
Above, the yellow arrows took us through the grounds of a monastery with a beautiful church (below). We’ve seen far fewer churches on this path. So far, this Way doesn’t seem to have a pronounced spiritual side to it. Nothing like that of the Camino Frances. We continue to try to stay present and accept what comes. That is always a good (and hard) practice.
Early this morning we took the bus and skipped 17 miles of walking. There was a long stretch with no services which we weren’t up for. (We knew this was coming and had planned for it.) The skip took 3 buses but all went smoothly. We met some helpful Basque men at the bus stops. They are very proud of their culture. One, after telling us of his admiration for Michael Jordan and his disdain for Trump, told us that there is a large Basque community in Chicago.
