Sep 13
Day 9 of walking the Camino with 14 miles (24 km), with a pre-dawn start to beat the heat. A GOOD part of the day was spent in Viana, where residents were celebrating a traditional feast with giants parading, and most people were in national dress (including Ben and two new friends). The highlight was a running of the bulls, an event usually associated with Pamplona. We also placed a memorial stone for Angela, my late niece. For the first time on this trip someone recognized my Africa University cap! Rev Paul Fleck is a United Methodist pastor who works with Immigration Justice in the New York conference.
