Pinchos in Pamplona
Pamplona
If last nights lodging was a Spanish galleon, tonight is the uss enterprise! check out the website, very high tech! http://www.casaibarrola.com
Got my bunk for €15 did laundry, showered and hit the town. I toured the cathedral of Santa Maria http://www.catedraldepamplona.com
I did a Clark Griswold (Ntl Lampoon Vacation) tour of Plaza de Toros and Plaza Del Castillo. I slowed down for an amazing Pinchos (small plate) lunch. I had four plates: White anchovy, ham with what I assumed was quail egg and roasted red pepper, smoked salmon, and my absolute favorite pulpo (octopus) with potato. I was also proud that I ordered entirely in Spanish and sign language! I would return to Pamplona just for the Pinchos! I went to a mass in Spanish today in was a very nice way to reflect on the day. I’m currently back at the mothership for a little rest and application of aspirin, tiger balm, and foot gel. I’ll venture out for a glass of wine and a snack later.
Whoo-Hoo!!! Looks spectacular! …. Love your blog and YOU!

Thanks for the pictures and great descriptions. I’m busy planning my Clintonville residency for when Mona & Eunice leave. Lookin’ good, you can do it, you got this!
It really means allot knowing the cats will be in such good hands!
I’m jealous! (except for the food) It looks beautiful there. I don’t leave until Tuesday 6/30, and I can’t wait. We’ll have to have dinner again and swap stories.
Love the photos, lots of history……the lunch sounds awesome with the exception being octopus!!! Uhhh, don’t think so!!
