3/31/10

I am really glad that it is spring break. I skyped with a few people last night which kept me up late but I was able to sleep in!! I had some breakfast and just relaxed. My friend Tash came over and hung out with Angela and I. Eventually I made it out for a run. It was nice. It was kind of cool but it felt good to get out of the apartment. I am glad that I went then too because it started pouring rain later on. After that, we just hung around some more. Quite an exciting day I know. I went out to get some groceries and stuff too. As I write this, my day seems very dull.

Tomorrow though Tash and I are going to bike to Logrono, right outside of Navarra which is the region that Pamplona is in (actually the capital of). It will take maybe 3-4 days to bike there and back. It is 100k. Hopefully we aren't setting our expectations too high. Neither of us have really biked before. We will see how it goes... It should be fun though. It is on the pilgrimage path that I talked about before called el Camino de Santiago de la Campostela. The end is a really beautiful cathedral. I wish I knew more of the history and the significance. I will have to look that up. Usually people walk it and it takes around a month but it depends on where you start. You can start in France or even Italy and you have to walk to almost Portugal. I think it is the perfect thing to do over Holy Week. We will be staying in places called albergues which are just places for pilgrims to stay along the camino. It may be a long few days because we aren't showering and well we just won't have all the luxuries in life. But I am still excited. Pray that we don't get any flat tires cause we don't know how to change them!! Knock on wood! I will have my Spanish phone on me if you need to reach me ( mom and dad and anyone else) it's +34 622 140 678. Have a great Holy week everyone and start to the weekend!

Les echo de menos a todos!!
