A bright sunny day leaving Zubiri. The kind of day that urges you to take your socks & shoes off & linger longer at a sunny cafe. Unfortunately, no rest for the weary. I had plans for this day! Big plans!
Staying with the sisters at the convent in Zabaldika came highly recommended & turned out to be a highlight of the trip. It was my first stay that didn't allow for reservations so I was a speed devil to get to the convent to secure one of the 18 coveted beds. I ended up with the first bag in line (pilgrims highly respect the bag line at aubergues) so while waiting for the convent to open, I had time to journal and do a bit of painting. Following a tasty communal meal, we adjourned to the church belfry for an evening of song, prayer & sharing with fellow pilgrims.
