Yes, there is a new format to my title.
Ok, I have to get something strait. I am not chasin any girls around, I just said they looked better, and Nadia is a 50 year old woman from Liechtenstein. Not really my type. For those who don´t know, the hike is a total of 802 kilometers long. I am so happy to see all the people commenting, thank you all so much.
Well today started off at 5:30 am. We all woke up then. I slowly got up, and packed my stuff. After a coffee, and a coke for me, we were off at 6:20. Today was the longest hike so far, 27.8 kilometers. We were not expecting to be done till around 2:30 or so. We had a beautiful sun rise again today. Oh I forgot to say. One of my goals for the trip was to get the sunrise/sunset in my hands. And on the 2nd morning of the hike, I got it. I will show pictures when home. It was a really cold morning, and we got to the first town and went to a bar for a coffee and a ColaCoa. I was pretty bummed out for not being able to stay in Pamplona for the running of the bulls, which happened today, but...... in the bar we stopped at they had TV coverage, so I got to watch it, pretty brutal sport. Also really funny to watch the idiots get squashed. After what seemed to be a very long time, we took a break and ate lunch. It consisted of really thick ham and some old cheese on a baguette. It was very good.
We got here around 1:30. We made good time, but the last 10 km were the hardest. not that hot today. When we got to the Alberqueque there was a huge line up of people, it did not open until 2:30. So we took a number and waited. I saw a guy from Norway who I had met the day before. I got to talking to him and he introduced me to his friend who is Spainish. His friend had english lessons for one year and then just this week they have been learning together. The Spanish guy and I have a deal, I teach him english and he teaches me Spainish, so it shall work out well I hope.
(I just see the people in Smithers are going to have more rain, hahahahahah)
Well, dad and I have to make supper tonight, last nights supper was, not quite done rice with mushroom soup and red wine and bread. We are going to make a good old dutch farmer meal, meat potatoes and veggies.
Well I am running out of time, I thank you all again for the comments, and I am going to go up town and chase some girls, hehe. Have a great day all.
These boots were made for walking!!

Jakob,
I like the new format...620 km seems overwhelming to me but it is one (of very many) step forward...that's the key word...forward.
Yes, Smithers weather remains 'variable'...I prefer 'consistent' sunshine.
Take care of Thea...it seems she needs some extra TLC (tender loving care)...resting with a book helps too.
stay cool, gloria
Aww...and I was expecting a cool European chick for a sister in law...JJ. Enjoy the Meat and potatoes. Love ya!~Laura
