Arrived in Madrid

May 12. 5:00 PM. I arrived in Madrid this morning. The flight was 4 hours late, but we pilgrims scoff at time. That's right. As of today I am a pilgrim, which could explain my sudden craving for turkey and stuffing.

The flight was long but comfortable. I highly recommend business class. They handed out socks and a toothbrush. That is some styling travel, if you ask me!

I write this from the train to Pamplona. I will arrive there at about 6:30 and then have to make my way to the starting point of my walk -- Roncesvalles. The goal is to start walking tomorrow, which means getting there tonight. My original plan was to take a bus, but I have a feeling that I will miss the last one. Do pilgrims take cabs?? If all goes as planned I will be back in Pamplona on Thursday --this time on foot.

I just looked out the window. It is pouring. I hope my pilgrim hat doesn't get ruined. Looks like we are arriving... I think that is Plymouth Rock in the distance. Gotta go shoot me an injun.
