Is someone starting the Norte from Irun in the near future?

I started in Irun on August 29, 2015. First stop was Pasaje Donebane San Juan, at the Albergue Santa Ana. I apparently left a small zip-bag there with medicine and a spare pair of glasses, and was notified that the hospitalero found it. Unfortunately, she had already gone back to her home, and couldn't send it to me. I was already a week down the road, and couldn't spend the time to return there. I then wrote to the Albergue Santa Ana with 15 Euro, asking someone to please send my little package to Ivar in Santiago, but I have not gotten a response, nor has Ivar gotten anything for me from the Albergue. If anyone is going there soon, I would so much appreciate having you ask about it.

Ivar said he doesn't think there is a post office there, but I gave sufficient funds to get it packaged up at the next town (San Sebastian). Just would very much appreciate having someone check for me. I've replaced the meds, but the glasses are expensive. The bag is an Eagle Creek zip bag, about 5x8:. If you can do that, you can have the funds if they are still somewhere . . . I like to think I can trust the hospitaleros everywhere. Thanks in advance.

I won't be starting el Norte until Nov. 4th in Irun. However, if your lost bag has still not been recovered I'd be happy to check on it.

Thank you. The bag looks like this : The Eagle Creek one in the bottom front with the yellow zipper., just next to my red back-up drive case. If you do find it, perhaps you can use this forum or e-mail me at woodswoman@alumni.colostate.edu and let me know. You can decide what's easiest for you. I certainly don't expect anyone to carry it with them for the whole Norte!!

Thanks for responding.

Great, that helps. Hopefully you will have it before I get there but if not I will make inquiries and let you know.

Thank you SO much!

Dear Federico:

Well, I finally got word that someone had found my letter and the Euro I sent. So the director of the albergue in Pasaje Donebane San Juan did send my package, though he was not allowed to send the medicine. I can get more from my doctor, but I did get the glasses and other things in the bag. I just got home from Italy last night and opened up my mail packages this morning (jet-lagged that I am), and there it was. So thank you so much for offering to check on it for me, and have a great Camino walk.

Good to have another lost and found story - we have had a few lately. I still love this one https://www.caminodesantiago.me/com...g-morality-on-the-mountain.36477/#post-344357
