Greetings from Burgos

Burgos Cathedral

Hello from the beautiful city of Burgos. After a very long hot march from San Juan de Ortega yesterday we arrived in Burgos. We treated ourselves to a much needed hotel room for a long soak and then washed our laundry in the bathtub like the gypsies that we have become. (It left a brown ring!)
Dinner last night was fantastic at the Cervezeria Morito, where we had amazing raciones. A racione is the next size of serving up from a tapa. We inhaled the beautifully prepared and served food in minutes! The snack food here becomes very monotonous after a while and we long for some variety and some vegetables after our continual diet of pizza, paella, pasta and bocadillas(sandwiches) and the occasional tortilla (an egg and potato pie). We were delighted to find fresh salads with carrots and mushrooms on them!
Woke up today with a very swollen red foot so it's a bus day for me today and the guys have gone on to Hornillos on foot. I'm okay with taking a rest day, trying to hang in for the long haul and think strategically.
Heading out on the Meseta today, the high plains of Spain. We haven't seen rain in a week. Hopefully, our luck will hold.
More from the next town with wifi.
