Yeah! Burgos and Comfort

We woke up to rain this morning so it was a wet walk today. The weather front that came through also brought cooler temperatures.

We were told that there is not a pleasant walking route into the city of Burgos but we found the best possible option, along the river. The Camino magic must have been with us because the rain stopped just long enough around noon for us to sit on a city bench and have some lunch. As we were about to leave, a Spanish man directed us to the beautiful route by the river, which is where we wanted to be. If he had not stopped we would have missed the turn and then would have had to follow busy and boring city streets.

We are now in the old part of Burgos. The cathedral is absolutely stunning from the outside. We will tour it tomorrow as we are taking a rest day. 

We opted for a hotel for tonight and tomorrow night.  We feel as though we are in the lap of luxury with real beds, fluffy pillows, and towels that thoroughly dry one's whole body. Best of all we have privacy. No sharing bathrooms,showers, and sleeping quarters with other men and women. That means no snoring to keep us awake at night.

We have done some exploring of the city but will do more tomorrow when we have more time.
