Sometimes you get extra lucky .... but that doesn't compare to this Brucee's luck in having you as a Camino Special Friend. 🙏 I'm now reflecting on the time you came to the outer streets of SdC to welcome me into SdC on my Camino Portuguese return.

RejsendeBruce, one day I would like to stay at Albergue Verde. Terry and I will have to go back soon and do it 😄 You are doing so well and having lots of adventures. 🤗
RejsendeOh Dear ANN I can tell it is enormously good for me. Physically, mentally and spiritually. I'm meeting Camino kindred spirits and we share and celebrate the gifts of the Camino way. Camino Angel's have Serendipitously happened to be in the same place, at the same moments. You might have seen me sign off as " Lucky Brucee" I've altered that to "Blessed Brucee " More to share when we are next together 🥰🙏

RejsendeGood old Google found this: The "Burgos Bull" story refers to the Osborne Bull, a black silhonñnnuette of a bull that was initially a billboard advertising the Osborne sherry brand. The bull, designed by Manolo Prieto, became a popular cultural icon in Spain and a source of considerable debate.

RejsendeGood idea Bruce. I love the meseta but there are long sections without villages. Buses only in some. Know the villages that are transport links, watch out for ones that are not. Sending hugs.pS if it rains muds can make the walk feel twice as long; it sucks your feet down and requires effort to pull them up!

RejsendeBruce, make sure you visit the church. Put a euro in the slot to turn on the lights. The retablo is the most amazing Baroque you will ever see. Plus the “sports bar” next to the church is actually the Casa de Comidas and has the most fabulous food. Dishes on the bar - all freshly made and you choose the size of the portions you want.
