The weather here in Spain has been pretty miserable-makes us more thankful for the lovely sun yesterday !  But today was another wet day, actually a hard rain rather than the drizzle from the previous days.  We passed thru Pamplona where some of our new friends are dropping off since they are just on a short holiday.   I am sure we will meet new friends, but we are now a few kilometers ahead of most of those we had been walking with.  Had planned to go a bit farther today but just raining to hard to tackle the Alto de Perdon today- a steep climb and a steep descent.  The rain makes things very muddy and slick-- the Way is not a manicured path!  More like a glorified cow path mostly and today was quite rocky too so hard to move fast even when I had the energy!  Stopped at a lovely alburgue, with wi-fi ! Yay!    before the climb tomorrow and now of course the sun is out!  Will try to get our clothes dried out, especially my boots- really important to keep your feet dry.   There were some nice views today and  fields of yellow flowers that smell very sweet- but just to wet to get my camera out. Looks like the rain is in the forecast for a few more days- please pray for some nicer weather for us, or at least a warm drizzle instead of a cold downpour.  Knew this wouldn't be easy, but the weather has been quite a challenge!
