Yesterday we walked between Cizur Menor and Obanos. The sky was overcast for most of the day. We began our walk at 7:00-- one of our earliest days-- in wind and rain. The rain from the night before and the morning exposed the clay infused mud during our ascent and descent of a mountain. During our walk, we watched the wind turbines march closer, grow taller, hum louder. Both Mom and I find beauty in this kind of energy production.
Las distracciones our eyes from the sky, the clay collected in the lugs of our boots. The clay on our boots added at least a pound to each foot and created the perfect surface for mud skating! Despite the challenges, we created time to laugh and breathe.
A cloud greeted us at the top of the mountain as did an iconic iron statue of pilgims. We stopped just long enough to snap a few pictures and feel the spirit of pilgrims who walked before us.
En nuestro sacred church, Santa Maria Eunate, we met two Argentinians who were married in October. They are traveling the world for their honeymoon - a blessing to their sacrament. El Camino is the last leg of their journey. Together we prayed a rosary, half in Spanish and half in English, as we prepared to experience the power of the church. We arrived at the church during la siesta, but a Spaniard was filming a documentary of the area, so we were able to pray in the church. The Argentinians invited us to join in an old tradition before entering the sacred space: walk around the round church three times barefoot.
