Wednesday 4th September 2024

Another very pleasant day! We were picked up from our hotel in Pamplona Mercedes Vito (Van) at 9 am and dropped off at Zubiri around 9:25am. The previous day in a rush we had forgotten to get our Camino Passports stamped in Zubiri so stoped by a cafe to get them stamped and then marched off. At 9:30am we were probably the last pilgrims leaving Zubiri. Patrick even wore shorts and Archana opted for her Keen sandals instead of the trekking shoes, as we expected an easy day. It had rained the previous day, the sky was overcast and the temperature on a cooler side. A couple of kilometres into this walk we bumped into Rob & Barbara and also David, we had met all three of them plus David’s young son Martin, although we had been separated the previous day. The Camino teaches you about life in its own way. People joined you on parts of the trail, you exchange pleasantries but each one marched to their own tune and walked their own Camino. Some of them you saw again and some you never saw again, some became friends for life and some taught you an important lesson in that brief encounter. Even we (Patrick and Archana) were walking our own Caminos. Usually we started together and then due to his long stride and higher level of fitness Patrick would be miles ahead of Archana, sometimes he would wait for her in the next town, next church, end of the trail….

Like today as Archana walked into Trinidad de Arre, she saw beautiful church across the bridge as she entered the town. There was a notice welcoming people to their church and to stamp their own passport. So when Archana walked into the dark church, only the altar was visible. But then suddenly the motion sensor triggered the light and she noticed on her left sitting on a church pew was Patrick!! All he said was “I have been waiting here for you for over 45 minutes!”.

After saying a small prayer together and chanting the mahamantra, they walked side by side on small streets on the outskirts of Pamplona until they reached the walls of a fort, even a drawbridge above what would have been a moat in the bygone days.

Happy days! Laundry had been sorted the previous night, so tonight it would be a shower to freshen up, some rest and back for sone more Sangria at the same bar as the previous night.

It was a sultry night, the sangria was delicious and day 3 had been done and dusted.

Toyota’s Fluoride-Ion Solid-State Battery Could Deliver Range of 1,000 km

Toyota Motor Corporation is collaborating with Kyoto University researchers to develop new batteries for future electric vehicles (EVs). They recently announced that the next-generation battery technology they’ve been working on could cram more energy into a more lightweight and compact package than today’s standard lithium-ion (li-ion) batteries. The group’s fluoride-ion...

Que tu fasses un voyage de cinq kilomètres ou de mille kilomètres, tu as beaucoup à apprendre et à observer.

Exemple : faire 1000km pour voir un garçon, et en fait il n’est disponible qu’un après-midi. On apprend dans ce cas qu’on peut être pris pour un con.
