To Burgos

We had a beautiful hike during sunrise up an over the Atapuerca Mountains and then worked our way down through a few small communities ending up in Burgos.

The old city part of Burgos is just stunning and the Cathedral can take your breath away.

The best part of today was sitting in a plaza in the shadow of the cathedral visiting with Joe (England), John (Port Angeles) and Beth (England). Beth shared that she, her dad and Will (actress from Netherlands who we had walked with earlier in our trip) have been discussing writing a murder mystery which takes place on the Camino. Will would play the murderer and the detective would be based on Alan with me as his sidekick. 😂 Crazy and funny the ideas that come to mind as people are walking all day.

We did around 16 miles today after all of the walking around the city, but tomorrow we are only walking 8 miles…kind of a rest day. I’m excited to enjoy our hotel room and sleep in a bit - if I get any sleep. It’s Saturday night and we can hear people singing and having a great time outside our window. The Spanish like to start their evenings late and party until morning.

Tomorrow, after I try to find a better way to deal with an annoying blister, we enter the Meseta area of Spain to continue on to Rabe de las Calzadas.Okumaya devam et
