[QUOTE="Albertagirl, post: 448047, member: 43403"] I am still trying to quiet my busy mind, but I am enjoying my Camino. For now, I think I shall just let the busy thoughts float. My time up at San Juan de la Pena was worthwhile. I could have skipped the time in the new monastery, which is not very interesting to anyone with a good basic knowledge of the Christian monastic life. It is clearly a tourist focused introduction to Christian monasticism. I kept wanting more detail but it wasn't available. On the other hand, the old monastery was fascinating in every way - to imagine what life was like in that strange structure under the mountain slope! And the old monastery was so closely connected to the royalty of the kingdom of Aragon, with the royal tombs there. The cloister contains some wonderful sculptured capitals by the Master of San Juan de la Pena, whose work is seen elsewhere on the Camino. I may relate to his work elsewhere better having seen much of it up close. I stayed overnight in the Albergue at Santa Cilla. It has good facilities, including a kitchen, but no food store in town except a bakery. I got a tasty tortilla bocadillo for supper at a bar, but no salad or vegetables. Breakfast was coffee from my supplies and bread from an anonymous donor. I am looking forward to a communal meal at Arres tonight. I am enjoying the fresh sunny fall weather and am now at Puenta la Reina de Jaca, so only another hour and a half or so to complete my day's walk. Buenos Dias a todos. [/QUOTE]
