4th Day - Pamplona to Puenta La Reina

Hello everyone: nicole & i had a wonderful day walking 22 km in about 7 hours. sadly nicole has a blister on each heal and did remarkably well. we needed to climb a large mountain this morning just out of pamplona and can proudly say it took us only 1 hour!!!!!!! we brought with us for our journey from our favorite outdoor store REI, a product called elixer which helps us replenish our electrolites. we had so much energy it helped us climb up, then we made a game to see how fast we could descend - 25 mins - wooooo hooooo! we had trekking poles which helped us nearly run down the mountain stepping on rocks large & small. we laughed & laughed traversing the downside. the last 3 km were very hard for us today, but we managed to have fun even if we were delirious (really)we couldn´t even walk a straight line and couldn´t stop laughing and then we would laugh even harder. i haven´t figured out how to post pictures but i will so have patience please. i have 4 mins left and do not want to lose this letter. after arriving at the albergue (refugio or jeet) we showered and washed & dried all our clothing, ate dinner all by 6 pm. we are now ready to go to bed so we can start walking at 4 am tomorrow. I Love All of You. Sweet dreams, Life is Good - AriZona
