We left London at 11am on the 3rd and headed to Dover for the boat ride to Calais. Once we reached Calais we had another 18 hours on the bus travelling through France to Spain. It really was a LONG bus trip and one which I am not too keen to repeat in the near future. When we arrived at the Estella campgrounds I was straight to bed to have a few hours sleep. Estella Estella is a cute little Spanish village about 30 kms out of Pamplona (where the San Fermin Festival takes place). Alli and I spent the afternoon exploring the town (trying to get directions from the locals in very bad Spanish was quite amusing). We headed back to camp that afternoon and had a few drinks with all of the others ... read more

Fontebadon - Molinaseca. 21 km 07.30 - 12.30 Uhr. Heute rausgeschaut auf das tolle Panorama wie wir ja gestern hatten und dann..... Nebel, Niesel, leichter Regen, kalt. Toll. Also alle Regenklamotten und warme Kleidung an und los. Der Wind war wieder so stark, dass man kaum die Stoecke klicken hoerte. Dauerregen, kalt, bis auf die Haut komplett durchnaesst. Kein Panoramablick, da die Sicht nicht mal 100 m reichte. Rechts, links, vorne und hinten nur Nebel, fast kein Pilger vor dir. Dann den Camino im Nebel nicht gefunden und ein laengeres Stueck auf der STrasse marschiert bis eine Abzweigung nach links ging. Das "cruez de Ferro" war leider auch im Nebel und eine komplette Spanische Schulklasse davor. Da es aber es regnete legte ich meinen Stein ab und weiter marschieren. Im Nebel hoerte man dann auf ... read more

This is the first time I´ve had any sort of length of time on the computer. Please forgive me. 2 more things. 1. I haven´t been able to hook up my computer to the internet yet, so no pictures 2. I have no idea where the apostophe on this keyboard is, so I´m using the accent mark. I think you can get over it. Hokay sooooo.... I almost missed my flight in London. My flight from Dallas was delayed, and then I went to the wrong terminal, and then when I was in line to go through security, they told me I could only carry one bag, and that my purse counted as a back. So I had to get out of the line and check my carry-on bag, get back in line. I got through ... read more

Had my academic orientation session today. They talked about what classes we can take and the hours they are offered. I’ll have one class that goes from 5:00 - 7:30 at night on Monday (because classes aren’t offered during Siesta). We also took a tour of La Universidad de Deusto so we would know where all of our classes are. After this, we took a bus ride to Plentzia, a town to the north where we, of course, took a tour. Then to a restraint for Lunch (I’m starting to like this big lunch, small dinner thing.) After lunch, we were free to do what we wanted, so we went to the beach that is right there in Plentzia (right by the sea.) After burying some people in sand and playing a little futbol, we ... read more
