And for some of the time we paralleled the highway
As we got closer to Pampalona we noticed a shop with an English sign that said Spanish SIM card. Best price. Well the sales lady knew about as much English as I know Spanish ! However she pulled up an electronic translator on her PC - and that is how we conversed. I now have a Spanish phone# and better yet -data.
Pamplona (population 190,000) is a happening place on a Saturday! Very busy. Pamplona is the city where the 'Running of the Bulls' occurs, but not today. The run was in July this year and seems nonsensical to me...
Spaniards eat their big meal mid day and not so much in the evening. The atmosphere is very festive. This is the street our hotel is on
We found a market that solved my cable issues (yay) and bought a few groceries for tomorrow's breakfast and lunch.
For supper we join our teacher friends and go to a tapa bar
I had fish and eggplant with ham.
Sid had lasagne and a potatoe and meat combo
We wandered a bit and found desert and many families enjoying a warm September evening
We are doing great so far - my upper thigh muscles are really sore but Sid's aren't so I am trying to fake my level of fitness.
