Arrival in Borgos!

   Today I arrived in Borgus.  Tina, from Finland, and I decided to go as far as the last suburb before Burgos, then take the bus in.  We were joined by Mihael of Hungary and Ananda and Herman of South Africa.  It was a great idea as it meant the last 5 kilometers going through the edges of the city were eliminated and instead we experience the wonderful bus service in Burgos right to the old city.

    Besides, my feet were killing me.  I´d done another 19.5plus day yesterday.  I wasn´t as tired as the first time, but it still took it´s toll on me.  For instance, as I stepped out of the shower (fully clothed thank goodness) I realized I was in the men´s room.  Goodness!  It´s so hard to tell sometimes.

    Today I´m staying at the Divina Pastora, a hostel above the chapel La Capilla de la Divina Pastora.  They have mass tonight at 6:00.  Earlier, just after my arrival, the hospitalero (volunteer host) was serenading us on the guitar.  It was lovely, though I was a little surprised when he started to play The House of the Rising Sun.

    The walk earlier today was beautiful - through large forests of oak and then pine.  That opened up to rolling fields and at one point I could count 10 different wind turbine installations on the higher rises that seem to have a constant breeze.  I took some pictures and if I can figure out how to get them onto this blog I will do so.  The instructions are all in spanish and my first attempt was not very successful.  But I´ll try again.

   Off to explore Burgos.  More later...   Bueno Camino!
