June 15 – to Puente la reina

Easy stage, 20 km. But it’s always the same; the last hour is always one hour too much, and it was very hot. Walked a while with Rita from Switzerland, a 70-year-old pig woman who collects rocks and goes from refugio to refugio. Some people run from her as she sometimes gives a lecture on the Swiss political system. We went up to El Perdón, where “the road of the wind meets the road of the stars”.

We had a long break at a beautiful octagonal church, Santa María de Eunate. It was a little difficult to be here and now, and I felt a bit like Don Quixote today. All of us have been reading a lot of books and guides about the Camino before we started.

We saw mills at El Perdón…

Break

Santa Mariá de Eunate. A very nice, octagonal church. It’s nice to go around, bare foot, on the paving stones. It’s like massage. A german friend meditating, or may be just resting. It was hot.
