Holy molar!

Jesus, Joseph and Mary has it been a tough few days! I am happy to report that my left knee has doubled in size and because of its recent growth spurt my right knee is a bit jealous and is working on beefing up.

Thanks to Margo and Ann teaching me a couple phrases in Hungarian I have been able to tell 3 unsuspecting Hungarian men that I love them. The first being Tamas (To-ma-sshhh), the Stephen and some man with his wife.

Let us do a little recap of the past few days. I believe I left off on day 2, so I will start on day 3...

Day 3 - Roncesvalles to Lassarona 28k
I managed to find Linda again. It was fine. Thankfully she keeps a pretty good pace so we caught up with my 2 Hungarian lady friends, Margo and Ann. Margo and Ann were walking with Tamas, a Hungarian guy that I confessed my love for the night before. Tamas, Linda and I left Margo (the self-proclaimed snail) and Ann. Shortly after we lost Linda, also. I was a little sad to see her go, but I was in good company. There really isn´t much to report for this day except that I have the strangest songs popping into my head. This morning I woke up to "Come All Ye Faithful". I´m really hoping this doesn´t continue.

Day 4 - Lassarona to Cizur Menor 20k
I hated everything. Tom (Tamas) and I picked up another Hungarian and he walked with us. This was fine, except he didn´t speak a word of English and my Hungarian isn´t quite up to par yet. It took us 9 and a half hours to walk what should have taken us 5 and a half. I never wanted to see another Hungarian again. But after some rest and a beer and wine with dinner, things took a turn for the better. I am now able to understand some things when they are talking to each other. Tom can speak English pretty well, so he is our converstation middle man. Tom made me a super sweet walking stick and it is doing wonders for my legs.

I have some people waiting for the internet, so I will finish all this later.

Adios!
