Welcome to this Camino Blog. If you are new it might be best to start with the introduction. Otherwise, carry on.
Location: Puente la Reina
Distance: 23km – 91km total + a couple of kms from our hostel back to the trail.
Weather: Lovely day. Started a big foggy but basically perfect.
Terrain: Mostly gentle path with some bits of road. Walk through town out off Pamplona. Over a reasonable hill.
Physical condition: Ok, but a bit tired. Feet a bit sore but blisters are still yet to arrive.
Other: So I might have to come back to Pamplona. Really liked the feel, although it was a bit empty due to the holiday. It has a bull fighting stadium for goodness sake! Decided to enter the running of the bulls …..just joking, it was not on. Ended up walking through the city this morning as we left the trail a bit early yesterday to get to the hostel. Very pretty day today walking though fields and past and through small towns. Settling into a routine of having a nice, big lunch after the walk with a bottle of wine. Boy these Spanish like their long, large lunch. All good.
Blog Stuff: So I am a bit new to the blog thing. A few have commented on things (thanks for that) and I am not sure if you wanted things private or not. From now on, unless you put private at the top I will assume it is intended to be public.
SB 5: God became human (so we have a good idea of what that looks like)
So theoretically this could be under SB 3 but I think it it deserves its own.
Not only is this a SB because it is central to Christian belief, but also because the incarnation gives us the best image that we have of what God is like. If you want to know what God is like, look at Jesus.
On a similar note, I am highly aware that I have fallen into the trap of being a bit spiritual about spirituality, and have disregard the physical. Apparently, this is a Greek influence rather than a Jewish view.
However, here we have our God taking on human form. Presumably this was not done with distaste so neither should we view it this way. The physical is good and we should see it as such.
