We came across these sheep along path

Yesterday I forgot to give you the distance we hiked yesterday from SJPP to Roncesvalles was 25km or about 15 miles. Today we came to Zuniri 22 km so again almost 15 miles. Way flatter except the end was very rocky ( small rocks primarily) and about as steep as yesterday. Knees did much better after a Motrin early.

Typical trail this morning This is not the rocky

Maybe 50% was shaded and comfortable. had breakfast of a piece of pizza and coffee Americano. The slice of pizza was the most appetizing thing laying out on the counter. I wanted to practice my Spanish and he wanted to speak English. We both won a little bit. It was a really quaint town.

i left about 7 am and arrived about 3 at our hostal. my hiking partner today was David who is a retired community college professor from California. he called ahead and got me a room at this albergue (hostal).

i just finished hand washing my dirty clothes and its on the line drying now.

On our way to dinner I am stopping at Farmacia. i have adult diaper rash and need Desitin before it gets worse. I also want to stop at the mercado to pick up granola bars or something like that for the trail. lunch today was a Coke and apple.

Here’s my room last night with four others:
