We left Zubiri in the pouring rain.  The mud was so bad on our way to Pamplona that I fell in it and sat while Don fell on top of me when I asked for help to get up!  We were filthy, soaked and quite achy when we reached Pamplona!  Dios, ayudanos por favor!
                We found Pension Mendi, built in 1890—with noisy neighbors, unfortunately.  On the way to dinner, we found a civic center (civican), where we were able to use the internet for one hour—free!

                On the way back, we found ourselves on the sidelines of a huge protest march/parade/demonstration, right near our pension.   There were armed police everywhere, and crowds of marchers, some in native costumes, walking  for peoples’ rights.
