San Fermin isn't until July, but I had to see the famous city of
Pamplona. Unfortunately, we couldn't catch the bus until 1:00 in the afternoon, so we decided to make an overnight trip. The bus ride to Pamplona was beautiful, it cut through the countryside, sandwiched between mountains and cliffs. The colors in Spain aren't as strong, and are dull compared to the strong greens and the fall colors back home in Oregon, but despite this, they were still beautiful. The bus station in Pamplona is hidden under an
old military fort that is now restored as a park, very impressive The city was gorgeous, with fall trees and
enormous walls from fortification hundreds of years ago.
My friends and I spent the day seeing the city and tasting the food. We planned on staying out all night, to take in as much as possible. However, when they got too tired we had to find a place to sleep. The problem was it was already 3:00 in the morning. We walked around looking for cozy corners to sleep in and we ended up sneaking into the bus station to sleep in the stairwell. Probably not the most comfortable sleep I've ever had, the floor was rock hard and a little chilly, but it is an experience, and even though it wasn't comfortable, it made the trip unforgettable. After a couple hours we woke up to catch the bus, and I don't think either of us were functioning fully. I've been thinking about one thing lately, time is one thing that you can't change, fix or repair. Experiences are so important, and it was an amazing trip.
