Burgos, Spain

Today is going along quite alright. We took care of business, which means I mailed a day pack to Leon. If I am struggling to walk, it will be there so I can change my strategy and courier my big pack carrying only what I need for the day. For now, I believe I can carry my load, as we are hiking across the plains. It rained a little, but not so much to bother us. At the post office, we were waited on by the same lady who helped us last year. The Correos had boxes, so she packed it up too. After the Correos, we took a taxi to a Lavanderia discovering it was not so far as we thought. We had our laundry done in a snap, and walked back to our hotel to pack it up. Then we went tapas hunting for lunch. We had some open faces sandwiches, mussels, chips and sausage. Also tasted the wine and sangria. It’s siesta time, and shops are closed now. Norm is napping while I write. We are ready for the road tomorrow. We have met a few perigrinos and found out it isn’t so crowded yet. I am breaking in my shoes, and fancy socks. Everyday I do my exercises for my feet, and I praise that they are well. We bought some bread, and sausage. After siesta we’ll find fruit and cheese. Norm is snoozing and I’m just sitting here with a big grin watching the sunlight filter through a curtain. Just out the window, there’s the cathedral and the pilgrim’s way. At last, we are living the dream.
