God is good! After walking for 7
hours, we entered Navarette, leaving
the Province of Navarra and entering
the region of La Rioja, renowned for
its superlative wines. We found a 3-star hotel that fit our budget,
with a lovely receptionist who speaks English with the same accent as Lydia, my
Zumba teacher!
Don and I
showered, did hand laundry, and hung it to dry on our tiny balcony overlooking
one of the bustling Plazas. We even had
a glass of the Don Jacabo wine at the
café opposite our hotel, because we had passed that winery on our way into
town. It was good.
We went to a tiny
clothing store near our hotel, where I bought a sleeveless black top, because
all my tops have sleeves and I need something cooler (and a bit dressier) for
the evenings. The shop lady was very friendly.
We visited the
large Church of the Assumption near our hotel and returned there for Mass. When we arrived for Mass, they were just
finishing the Benediction. The Latin was
nice. After Mass, we ate a Pilgrim’s
menu (the fish I had was Rodabaio)
and returned to the hotel. Ad majorem
Dei Gloriam!
