Rest Stop Ventosa
Viana to Navarette
This is a post from Mary’s FB account. As I type this at 0300 AM Central, she is on her way to the next stop.
“Had a good night’s rest in a beautiful property in Viana, but still woke shaky and very tired. Very few villages to take a break on this stage. I needed to spend time in Logrono, a city of about 120,000, to take care of a few things: had left an adapter with three cables plugged into a wall somewhere, needed a stop at a Farmacia for a few things, needed to go by the Orange network store and recharge my SIM card. I determined my body needed a break, so I bussed to Logrono, took care of my business, then bussed on to Navarette. It was the right decision. As I write the next morning, I’m rested and ready to walk on.”
Gusta la Opera
The Café Iruña, Pamplona is a historic venue. Mary had dinner there Wednesday evening with her new Camino friend, Ann.
It was that crowded when I was there in 2019 – not so in Covid times, but still busy. They have many outside tables, so people are not squished together, and they are not seating indoors.
Sept 3: Taxi to Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port
Mary is taking a taxi to SJPP.
