Day 10 Naverette to Azofra (March 28)

We were the only ones in the Albergue in Naverette last night. We had a good sleep and woke to more beautiful blue skies. There was no offering of food or drink when we got up so we just left and walked about an hour to Ventosa and stopped at the first bar. More great coffee and a chocolate croissant - yum. They also had wifi so we took advantage and sent a couple of emails with the iTouch. Not much to see on the way out of town. A snow covered mountain was on our left in the distance most of the way. Got to Najera and saw a big stork´s nest. Stopped on the Plaza de Espana for a caña, coffee and egg salad sandwich. The plaza was quite lively since it was Palm Sunday. Just 4 more miles to Azofra! Passed 2 wineries - here´s a shout out to our friends at The Wine House in Fairfax! When we arrived in Azofra we were hoping to stay at a private Albergue but only the municipal was opened. The sleeping arrangement is great because there are only 2 beds to a room. The are men/women toilets, but there are 4 shower stalls - coed. The hospitallera here is a young American woman originally from Columbia, MD. There are computers, but no wifi. Today I spoke to my mom and brother so all is good. It was a pretty easy walk. We had dinner in the restaurant Seville and were joined by a Spanish couple about our age. Though I did not contribute much to the conversation, I was able to follow along pretty well. I had a great meal of 2 fried eggs, chorizo, jamon, fries, bread and wine. Cullen had veal cutlet and fries. Both of us had flan for dessert. Went back to the albergue after supper and met a 79 year old Spaniard walking the Camino. Had a good night´s sleep.
