Camino Day Four July 26 Zubiri to Villava (Trinidad de Arre) 12.4 miles Total to date 47 miles.
God was showing off this morning with little visual gifts, a waterfall, wildflowers, and an amazing sky. I took pictures which I will post next time I get phone reception or wireless
I walked a about ten miles today in my sandals and now my tendons are sore, back to the boots tomorrow. Meanwhile, I'm on my way to the farmácia to see if I can get some Tiger Balm.
I had brought a light that you wear on your head to see where you are going in the dark. I can't carry a flash light because I need both hands for the poles Last night some one stole it. Though annoying, it was almost nice to have something gone missing that I didn't lose for a change.
So as a pay it forward karma exchange I picked up a pair of socks that someone had obviously dropped off their pack. They were damp and clipped with a clothes pin, so someone was trying to get them dry by pinning them to the outside of their pack. I carried them and kept asking people that I passed if they had dropped them. Several people said no, that they had seen them, but they were not theirs?! Anyway I stuffed them over my fanny belt strap and finally found their owner who was thrilled. She said they were her best ones and she had been very sad when she discovered they were gone. So hopefully I racked up a few karma points with St Anthony.
I arrived at the alberque, Trinidad de Arre on the Rio Ulzama, in the afternoon. It is adjoined to a basilica church, Convento de la Trinidad and has 36 beds in two rooms. It was almost empty when I arrived. The location was very peaceful. after my shower and laundry, I walked into the small town and found an Eroski market and an internet cafe.
