Camino de Santiago: Cow Bells and Caffe

My journey began this morning when the monks came into the dorms at 6:00 am singing something in Latin. I was out the door by 7:00am.  As you can see I have 790 kilometers to go.
If Navarra Spain had a national song it would have to be cowbells. Even the horses, goats, and sheep wear bells. Everywhere we walk we hear them. This area is rural, beautiful, and peaceful. I love this walk so far.
Stopped about 8:30am for cafe con leche y pan (coffee with milk and bread). The town was Basque, so cute and proud of it. Today, we will walk through 5 little towns. I can't wait!

    Boy, this really looks beautiful! The hills also look steep. We did not realize you will be going through so many quaint towns. That keeps the walk more interesting. Thanks for the blogs. Love, Mom and Dad
