Burgos!

I’m in the city! Burgos is a beautiful old Spanish city with a spectacular cathedral that I’ll tour tomorrow. Taking a rest day tomorrow, and we have a wonderful apartment in the old town. Today was another long day - 27 km. I am achy and my feet are throbbing, but overall I feel good. By Tuesday morning, I’ll be ready to roll again, onward to the Meseta.
Last night I met three new women from the Netherlands, Switzerland, and Germany/Italy. Yvonne, Nicole and Carolina, each traveling solo. Then today around lunchtime , I was very happy to see old friends Margaret and Andi at a coffee stop. We all walked from there to Burgos together. We met Andi (from Idaho/Costa Rica) the first night in Borda and Margaret (from Kansas City, MO) a few days later. Funny story, Andi didn’t have a booking for Borda but she called that afternoon and Laurent told her there was a bed available due to a cancellation. Turns out the cancellation was Margaret because the fog was so thick she passed Borda without seeing it and walked on to Roncesvalles! Now we’re all friends. This crazy Camino!Read more
