Day Two Puente La Reina to Estella

What kills me is by car it is much closer!  But no, all these people came to walk this. I am on a nine day 135 mile schedule from Pamploma to Burgos,

Day 2 I walked beginning with my new York friend, then met a sweet gal from Oklahoma who is here with her dad.  I booked it to next Albergue but near town met a HYSTERICAL lady from Honolulu..a transplant from Everett. We laughed so much. After we got settled in, went for a walk. We decided to go into  the tourist information office to see where we should eat dinner.  AFTER trying to follow a stupid map for hours!  She is worse with maps than I am for sure.

WELL she was telling us where to go, on the map, and we didn't know which way the map was facing. ( if you don't understand this, you are good with maps) We felt  confident that we could find the place...UNTIL she told us to go out their back door! We started laughing, trying to explain how bad we are with maps, ans I told her we are map bimbos. She asked what is a bimbo, and I said a women that is pretty that is not very smart. She said "oh! With white hair?" We lost it. Then she told
us that in Spanish it is tonta for  female, and tonta for males. We lost it....what is word for bimbo for males in english?

We sat at table in kitchen with some Australians, a dad and his son.

Made it with no pain, hallelujah.

Urban Dictionary - A mimbo is a very good looking male who either is or acts like he is extremely stupid.

Sounds like you are blossoming all over Spain! Love the blog - keep it coming.
