Day 4 Larrasoana to Pamplona/Cizur Menor. No BULLS HERE!

We started the day with entertainment from the character at the Supermarcado. No wine but fresh croissants and coffee.  The path followed a meandering river with lots of cool shade, opening up at a small rapids where local men were fishing. Most beautiful walk so far! We entered the walled city of Pamplona on a Sunday so nothing was open except a garden shop and a few bars. No sign of any BULLS here right now.

 The pilgrim markings through the city are very impressive, metal scallop shells every 10 meters to the city border. Unfortunately we were too late to enter the cathedral so we pushed on to Cizur Menor. We arrived at the Soberana Orden de Malta , Sanjuanista Alberge run by the Knights of St. John of Malta. Our hospitalero, Artero, from Bilboa was out running errands. He welcomed U.S. and did a fine job.

We met up with two young university grads who took us to church. This was the first Catholic Mass in Latin we've been to in many years. James, our new friend did the reading in English as part of the service. The only restaurant in town Tremendo, gave us four choices for each course in the Pilgrim's menu.
