And I was a hot Day.Potter. Navarrete is known for its pottery

John has offered to serve as an editor as Mary continues to hike, take pictures, do laundry, eat, and all the rest… He is making an attempt to put the posts in chronological order, so you may see some new posts further down the page.]
The map to the right outlines the hike taken from Casa Elita, in Larrasoana, Spain to Pamplona, a little over 15 kilometers.
To convert kilometers to miles, multiply by 5/8ths – gets you close enough…
The plan is to spend a couple of days at the Hotel Tres Reyes (Three Kings) and do some sight seeing. This town was a hang-out of Ernest Hemingway in the early 1920s where he wrote, The Sun Also Rises.
The path to the hotel passes the Plaza de Toros de Pamplona where bulls fights still occur.
