Go Porrón or Go Home

We have done a 300k...without a bike! That changes tomorrow but more about our cheating later.

We had one ridge to get over and then we spilled down into Burgos. We came in along the alternate route by the airport first and the along the river which was really nice. We ran into Jonathan soaking his feet in the river. He joined us later as we took a chocolate break. Suddenly he stopped as his wallet was nowhere to be found. His pack was emptied on the grass and eventually the "money pouch" was retrieved from his crumpled pants pocket of the previous day.

Why have I not heard more about Burgos! I've visited many cathedrals but none better than the Cathedral of Burgos. Construction was begun in the 13th century and it will blow your mind. The chapels are ornate. The scale is massive. It is best appreciated if you walk to it... from France.

The cheating has begun. We have checked into a hotel just off the main square with a window looking at the face of the nave. You can take the pilgrim off of the Camino but you can't take the Camino off of the pilgrim. We did our laundry in the sink and it now is drying in the shadow of the Cathedral in the only open window of our hotel.

We may have arranged for bicycles tomorrow. We shall see. Tonight we wandered the small streets of the old town and sampled tapas. We had a blast. Am I feeling guilty? NO!! I walked here...from FRANCE. Have you drunk beer from a porrón? I hadn't either but that changed tonight.

We are now back at the hotel and there is a rumor that someone here has bed bugs 😳!!! Just a rumor though at this point. Buenas noches.
