I got up at 6:00 to catch the 7:30 bus to Pamplona. It was fairly easy to find and I made it aboard no problem. The bus has assigned seats like an airplane. The people around me all slept while I read. Then I fell asleep a few hors later. We stopped at a rest area once.

We pulled into pamplona at 1:30. I had forgot to write down the hostel address but the nice lady at information looked it up. I walked the 4 blocks to my new hostel called Hostel Aloha. It is small 4 multi-person bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, living room, kitchen and sun porch.
I promptly crashed in my new bed. It felt like I slept for 5 hours but it was only 2. I didn't really want to get up but I made myself go exploring.
I walked to the Plaza del Castillo where the locals were hanging out. Small children were riding around on bikes and scooters or just playing. Adults young and old chatted with friends.
They are starting to get stuff up and ready for the running of the bulls, a week from Sunday. I won't be here. Darn.
I stopped at the grocery store on the way home. I made my self a lovely dinner. Fresh ripe tomatoes and mozzarella cheese drizzled with balsamic vinegar to start. Then spaghetti with meat sauce. It was yummy.
The rest of the evening I hung out in the living room reading while some of the guys here watched soccer on tv.
