Now in Gernika

Hello, everyone.
Yesterday we reached Markina about 4 pm, after a very long and trying walk. (From 0730 until about 4. Lots of ups and downs!) We were lucky to be walking on Saturday, when the little bar in Olatz was open. We reached it around 9:30. At around 1 we encountered a little table next to a farmhouse, selling soft drinks and muffins. (Got Aquarius, a rehydration drink, and a Coke, and sat in nearby grass to eat sardines on baguette for our lunch.) The last 10 kilometers took almost 3 hours, for 6.2 miles, but it was yet more up and down.
When we got into town, we found the convent albergue and commenced to doing laundry.
The we went out for a Pilgrim's Menu. This is the first course:

Lots of little clams in this. It was wonderful. The main course was marinated cod, cooked and with a sauce, and garnished with fried potatoes. There was also the usual bread, wine, and dessert.
Today we walked to Gernika and again reached town around 4 pm. (We would prefer to get out earlier and arrive earler, but taping feet takes time in the morning. I am going to try and speed it up!)
Ultreia.
