3 September 2023, Camino 3, Day 4
Los Arcos to Logrono
The blessings today began before we even left Estella. We stayed in a hotel about 2 km outside of town so we needed to walk back into Estella to begin our day. As we checked out the guy at the desk said he’d take us to Estella. The hotel had a shuttle that we knew nothing about.
The second blessing came as we waited for the guy to take us in the shuttle. There was a wedding at the hotel and lots of young couples and families attended. One young women was sitting outside with her 2 year old. The baby smiled at me and I sang Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes, complete with body movements. He laughed and I was happy.
The third blessing came at lunchtime in Viana. On the camino it’s easy to lose track of the days. Today is Sunday and the streets are full of families congregating after church for a drink and a meals. Kids are playing soccer and babies are in strollers. We finally found a restaurant with tables inside. We looked like pilgrims, a bit dirty and sweaty, certainly not dressed in our finest attire. The waiter took no note and seated us. No menu in English and we couldn’t decipher the Spanish menu. Being adventurous people Glen pointed to the menu and our waiter said, “Si?” And Glen said “Si.” This is what he got.
The fourth blessing came along the route. A man driving on the road stopped and asked if we wanted water. He had some in the back of his car. Our water bottles were full but what a lovely surprise.
Finally today lived up to what yesterday started out to be. Overcast and cool, 62 degrees, but no rain. The road is mostly flat with a few rolling bumps.
One day I decided to go for a walk... 
Awesome blessings you had that day. They sure made your day.
