NARRATIVE: Tere's ankle was swollen this a.m., so she hopped the bus to Najera and I hoofed it alone. There was hardly anyone on the path all day, and yet when I arrived in Najera (Tere was patiently waiting for me at the bridge) most of the albergues were already filled. Go figure. I got here by 14:30, which seems early to me. We finally found two beds at Peña in a room of 6. There were probably beds in the municipal, but I was trying to avoid that zoo. There is a Mexican couple in our room from DF and Michoacan. The only other Mexicans we've met so far besides Tere. We've met a woman from Guatemala in Puente la Reina and a few Bresilians along the way, but that's it for Latin America. It seems like 30% of the peligrinos are from Korea, 30% from Italy, and then the remaining 40% is a big mix from everywhere else.
