Hi

Sorry about so much coming through but this stuff is working so well at present so enjoy while things are going well, because it may not continue. Here it goes. Just been on my hammock how comfortable and great and did not go into Estella as we missed the bus as we spent too much time here in villatuerta. So to the supermarket to get some food and with the help help help of Liz we were Alberto get some lasagna heated plus some chicken pieces for the total of 7.50 Euro for the two of us so it was our cheapest meal so far. This place only has meals for 13 Euro which is too much for us. Have bread cheese,,,, blue ,,,, meat yoghurts for tomorrow so will only need a drink when we wander around Estella tomorrow morning. Liz is getting her bag transported to Villamayor de Monjardin while Eva and I will take our packs. Liz has a blister on her little toe and her knee is still not 100 percent. Went up to the church but it was closed but the sound of the bells is going every 15 minutes which is great. Last night went for a walk around Puente la Reina so first the bridge beside the famous one so was able to get some photos then to Saint Pedro which was closed then on to Iglesias de Santiago which was open and amazing with so much fancy work done in gold. Behind the alter and up to the ceiling also along both sides as sell. Plus the organ with all the pipes at the other end of the church. Very quiet and cool inside to which it was not outside. Then on to the next one which was open Iglesias del crucifijo which was totally different with the main thing was the y cross and very little else. We went in a guy was playing this instrument that like a bagpipes without the pipes and also a base sound but was a great sound and with the church been good forth sound. Then Liz headed back to check on the washing as it looked like rain not far away while I headed to the pilgrim monument for a photo of then back to the church .. this time habeas playing a guitar. The sound again was extremely moving and listened to it for about half an hour.. there was a Jesuit seminary near by which I guess this guy was from, but not sure .. but it did bring tears to my eyes ,,, good ones that is... as I did when I read the card from Tina with the Irish blessing on it in Biarritz thank you. ... love Anne until next time
