Estella to Los Arcos
21.1 km (13. 1 miles)
Morning photo--the three amigos!
Irache monastery
(another example of Adam's eye for capturing an image so well!)
At the (free!) wine fountain!
Alas, the fountain was not yet turned on for the day.
From my journal: We keep running into the Brazilian guys who we first met in Pamplona (at the bus station, before officially beginning our camino). We each greet each other, maybe exchange a few words in our limited Portuguese and Spanish, then smile, acknowledging we don't really know how else to bridge the communication gap.
Also one of Adam's Amazing Photos
The guidebook claimed that there was a potable fountain here, but when we looked in through those arches and down the stone steps, we saw a dark pool of stagnant water. No thanks.
From my journal: The camino went through a lot of vineyards and hay and wheat fields. In between two newly mown hayfields, I took a deep breath and the air smelled so sweet. Like candy.
This is the way.
We spent our last evening with John in Los Arcos. After going into this amazing and beautiful church, we went out for dinner and got the pilgrim's meal at the Hotel Monaco. Although my meal was subpar, John and Adam enjoyed their meals. And of course we had good bread, wine, and dessert so we ended up having a great last meal together.
