Hola from beautiful Burgos. We arrived here yesterday around noon. An elderly Spanish fellow led us into town via pathways through a large green space, saving us from dealing with busy streets. We were a bit nervous about being off the official Camino trail (have become very dependent on the yellow arrows!) but one of our friends was monitoring our progress on his IPhone and knew we were headed in the right direction. The locals have been very kind everywhere.
Bad news is that Russ has a sore swollen ankle, so we may be here for several days. He is keeping it elevated and we purchased a coldpack for it. I am not bad other than a cold and one blister. Our hotel is very nice and is situated next to the famous Cathedral. We plan to take in a 45 min tour this afternoon on a little red train that departs nearby, and requires no walking! Also plan to tour the Cathedral once Russ is more mobile.
Although this is a temporary setback, we think we will still have enough time to complete the Camino.
Adios for now!

Take care Russ, rehab as needed! We're off tomorrow for our driving/camping/trailer tour of the fall in California and Colorado.
ReplyDeleteWe're very much thinking of you.

Hi there!
ReplyDeleteI just thought I'd let you know that I'm thinking of you both. I watched the movie "The Way" tonight and really enjoyed it. I admire you both for doing this walk and I look forward to further blog updates and of course your safe return home. Take care of yourselves and get lots of rest.
