Day 2, slept with a pretty lady last night

I figured that would get your attention. it´s sort of true. There were 120 pilgrims staying in the massive pilgtrim dormitory in Roncesvalles last night (it´s an old barn). They have bunk beds arranged cheek by jowl---probably not the best image, but one abuts another. I drew a top bunk (they are all single beds), and Jule´s top bunk was pressed flush against mine. So, we probably had less space between us than one would have in a double bed. (All went well. Neitehr of us snored).

Last night I attended the pilgrim mass in Roncesvalles. They call all the pilgrims up front at the end of the mass (dozens attended the mass), and then the priest reads a blessing for a safe journey in four languages. After that, they turn all the lights down in the chruch except for one that shines on a statue of the Virgin Mary, and the congregation sings the old Latin hymn, Salve Regina, to ask fro protection for the pilgrims.

I´m half way through second day walk, and will write another post when able....
