Clear clear day. Cold front coming and you can really feel it in the evening.
Bought a round of breakfast churros con chocolate for peeps. Said goodbye to most other peregrinos in Logrono since they are either going back home or to other places by bus ie Burgos or Najera. Thought we had said goodbye to Judit and Ramon in Estella but judit saw us through a cafe window and ran outside as we passed the street next to the logrono cathedral. There are some beautiful statues of Our Lady here and a painting of the crucifixion by michel buonarotti.
I think my body is a little tired today, so taking it easy and staying in navarette. The Ventosa albergue is closed. Mass 7:30pm at baroque church of the Assumption, which is quite beautiful and adorned with gilded grapevines. In terms of interior, I think it's one of my favorites so far since the church size itself is comfortable and I like the proportions. Sang Schubert's Ave maria in there while no one was around at 6:40
Meditating on the importance of names, sacrifice, and the importance of rest and taking that opportunity when it presents itself. You have to just follow the signs. Sometimes you don't go as fast as you want for a reason. All in good time.
Thank you for the picture. It looks like you are holding up okay. It also looks like you are a lot better prepared than the impression I got from your previous posts and initial emails. I probably just missed something.
ReplyDeleteIt's also nice to see that you are dry. The weather there looks better than what we are getting here in the bay area (and the scenery doesn't even change here).
By the way, would this be a bad time to ask if you are Chinese ... just kidding %^} Hopefully you will forget that by the time you get back.
Keep up the good work with the blog. It's almost like a virtual presence (says the geeky engineer ;->).
