There are characters doing this walk. Red-bearded Irish James crossed the Pyrenees with a half- full bottle of wine instead of water, in sweatpants and unlaced used Army boots. Liliana a middle aged woman from New Zealand told us she is carrying her just deceased brother's ashes. Sebastian has been walking for 5 months - done various other Caminos in Spain. So far has walked about 3500 kilometers. He walks 40 km a day. We won't see him again. Anna from Canada is carrying over 30 pounds - took her 13 hours to cross the Pyrenees and was the last to arrive in Roncesvalles - at 8:15pm. She told us she had recently read "the Wild". She did not look too good. We suggested she might lessened her load a bit....This morning chatted with a 76 year old Swiss man and his 73 year old wife. They were on their third Camino. Told me his walking staff has seen 8000 kilometers - I believed him..
Tonight is half- priced Pintzos in all of Pamplona. I scheduled the arrival just for this good deal....
