• Body challenged ✔️ Burgos ✔️

    May 27, 2024 in Spain ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C

    Burgos was so far away. I didn’t know how I was going to get there or if I would get there.

    Burgos is the end of 12-15 stages of walks. Up the mountains of the Pyrenees and through the vineyards in Rioja. Rolling hills of wheat and green beans. Cold, heat, wind and rain. (Thankfully not too much of any one of them for us). Big city streets and tiny Medieval villages. Grand Cathedrals intimate chapels. Blooming flowers and singing birds. Pintxos, Tapas, Vino Tinto con Limon, olives with anchovies, bull meat on bread, pork belly (torrenzos), tortilla Española (egg and potato pie, chocolate croissant, hard boiled eggs, coffee corridors y leche,

    My body got worked hard especially in the early stages and still gets tested daily. My body was broken down, my mind messed with, my soul hurt and pulling myself up from that shit one step at a time and promising myself I would at least try and take the next step. I would in fact take the next step.

    So here I am in Burgos!! This right here is enough! All the people and conversations casual and deep are all meaningful.

    For tonight I am enjoying the hotel Amy booked for us. A private room and a private bed and private shower is such an amazing feeling.

    On to the Meseta………

    P.S. will
    Post pictures of the outside of the Cathedral in separate post.
