Sangüesa was, in many ways, a lovely place. The albergue was nothing special, and it wasn't as congenial as some places. The crowd there was younger and louder. And I was now winding down, now that I wasn't continuing on... The weather was sunny and pleasant, with places to eat and see...
Hiroko and I took the 8 am bus to Pamplona, and we saw Laurent [from Ruesta] get on our bus at Monreal. He has been bussing it for the last two days and may have to stop because of a sprained ankle. He had met Sylvette and Pascale, along with two French Canadians, who I didn't meet. Laurent and the French women wanted to visit a little church in Tiermas? on a variant route on the other side of the Yesa reservoir. Laurent had started in Le Puy-en-Velay and had woven his way down through the Gers to Lourdes, and was creating his own "camino." I left Hiroko after coffee near the bus station as she will continue on along the Camino Frances. I located my albergue [next to the Cathedral] and had a look at the Cathedral as the albergue was not yet open. A rather bittersweet moment for me... I will be leaving for San Sebastián/Biarritz tomorrow and flying back to Paris.
