Great time last night in Estella. 20 of us went out for dinner including 2 America friends, Yvonne, a federal marshall, and Jane, a "top-gun" pilot for the US navy, now working for the Pentagon.
We set off this morning for Los Arcos across, stunning hill and mountain scenery, with eagles soaring above and larks singing. The sun was blazing hot and the sky was clear blue. We covered 14 miles on wide tracks thst seemed to go on forever. The blossoms are now coming out as we leave the snowy mountains.
We had a wonderful dinner again this evening and are staying in a very nice Albergue with an Austrian flavour. Breakfast is at 7.30 tomorrow and a possible 30km to look forward to and steeper terrain. Marion is in severe pain and wishes it would all go away, however St.James is encouraging her along.

Dear friends, family and camp followers. We are attempting a pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostella starting on the French side of the Pyrenees at St.Jean Pied de Port, starting March 11th. Our "epic" should take us six weeks. You may keep up with our progress as we will post as often as we can. "Better than Eastenders!"
