Day 5 - Puenta la Reina to Estella

Went to mass at the local church in Puente la Reina. The inside, like all the churches I´ve been able to go into, was absolutely beautiful! This church, the second in a little Spanish town, puts any church I´ve seen in the United States to shame, I´m sorry to say. After mass, the priest gathered the pilgrims together to give them a special blessing, something that is very common at masses along El Camino.

The day started with an early morning crossing of another great medieval bridge. Because it was dark, I´m not sure if the picture will come out or not. I put the camera on a park bench and did a long exposure. Hopefully it was still enough. Not a very eventful day or long day, something needed to rest my body.

This is the most painful thing I´ve ever done, but at the same time, already it´s the most amazing. It´s like crazy math: 2 + 2 = 5 for large values of 2. I can´t explain it very well.
