Awoke to a cool and foggy morning in Ronceveaux (Roncevalles). Had our first cafe con leche this morning. Joan is missing her Cafe Noisettes already. Hit the trail just before 8:00. The parade of pilgrims had already begun. Found it to be a bit strange to be on the Spanish route again. Saw so many people with gigantic backpacks. Don't know how they do it. Stopped mid morning for a rest and a coffee stop in Bizcarreta, a place where we spent the night before we started last year. Then walked some long wooded paths before coming to Zubiri (pronounced Zoo-beedy). We picnicked there and got an ice cream before making the last bit of today's journey to Larrasoaña. Checked into the albergue and got our chores done by 3:00. Went to the local tienda where we got some food for a meal last year and enjoyed some classic rock tunes played by the owner, Angel. He's quite a character. Got a few things to sustain us tomorrow morning. Decided to participate in one more community dinner. The company and conversation were far better than the food this time. Talked with women from Ireland and Lithuania.
Albergue San Nicolas - very nice, clean facility. Meal is sub par but not many options in this town.
