Burgos

We walked from Atapuerca to Burgos yesterday, a distance of about 13 miles.  After leaving the small village of Atapuerca, and at the top of this hill we climbed, we encountered a large cross.  The sun was just coming up and I immediately thought of Easter and the new life given to us by Christ.  It was a moment to stop, stand quietly and to give thanks.  As we got closer to Burgos, the traffic became heavy, the noise louder, and the scenery very boring.  All of his made the journey more difficult.  Finding our way through the  city was made easier by people who helped give us direction.  

We said farewell to two more of our walking companions.  Susie, from Australia, and Peter from Canada.  They continued their walk today while we are taking a day of rest here in Burgos.  We plan to visit the beautiful Cathedral and just do a lot of relaxing.  Tomorrow we begin the more mental part of the journey.  We walk through flat terrain with very little shade or water.  Lots of time to reflect keep ourselves mentally alert. Buen Camino !!!
