Spanish Sky (1/2)

Spent most of yesterday on the train. John & Janet took me to the station at St. Cyprien and from there I transferred in Bordeaux, Hendaye, and Irun.

When I got to Pamplona I took the bus to the Universidad Publica de Navarra, where I checked into the Residencia de Estudiantes. As I got there it was sunshowering pretty hard, and when I came out I saw one of the brightest double rainbows I have ever witnessed. Shedding all dignity in a fit of maniacal glee, I dashed across a muddy construction site and waded through a field of waist-high, sopping wet wheat to get a good vantage point. I stood there and shot until the rainbow began to fade, then walked slowly back to my room. Just then, I turned around and saw that instead of fading the rainbow had resurged and formed a complete arc from the fields of wheat to the center of the university's campus, far too big to photograph.

Then I went into the city center to find some food. For a town of its size, Pamplona has surprisingly few restaurants and grocery stores. Finally went into a bar and had two Spanish quiches, then went back to the Residencia.
