Saturday August 17

The highlight of today was the pilgrim mass at Roncesvalle. A full choir sang the most beautiful mass. Parts of it were from the Missa Requiem. Very appropriate as it was the anniversary of my sister  Antoinette's death at the age of 21. Although the homily was in Spanish many beautiful word were said to the pilgrims and we received a special blessing at the end if the mass. Today we will hike about 12 miles to Zubiri.
