now that i am in spain, i can write almost every day, it seems, but i won´t.
i am now walking on the same paths that i walked on 18 months ago. i am also staying in the same albergue in puenta la reina. what i remember from the first time is that i got no sleep because there was so much snoring. i remember that i wrote an entry at 9 pm and again at 4 or so. i am sure that this won´t happen tonight because now i am a pro.
i took a detour from the camino to visit a chuch i loved last time, santa maria de eunate. it is set out by itself in a field. it is six sided and plain and has amazing and strange carvings of faces on the outside. in the inside the light is warm and diffuse and low because the windows are made of thin marble, not glass. i could sit in there for hours. i am so happy i had a chance to see it again.
life is good, walking is beautiful, i am getting a little cluster of new friends and the weather has been sunny and cool. what more could a pilgrim want. i´ll be back again soon.

Hola!
I have just been reading about Puenta la Reina, in the book, "Pilgrimage" by Paulo Coelho. Wow! You are in Spain already! It seems so fast. At least from here. What wonderful adventures, and thanks for sharing all the lovely details.
Love,
Maggie
