Burgos

We left Atapierta at 6 AM and started up a long hill.  That got the blood going early.

We continue to see people from earlier.  The young lady below is from Haifa and is named Mierva.  She calls herself the crazy Israeli always wears red and is very friendly .


After a 20 kilometer day we arrived in Burgos where we are staying in a Hostal with private rooms with bathrooms.  Something went haywire and Paul and Brian got the room with the larger bed and bathtub.  The other room has a smaller tub.


We did run across a building where the King and Queen commissioned the second voyage of Christopher Columbus.  The outside was interesting and Paul loved the door.



We then proceeded to the plaza by the Cathedral to relax, rehydrate and await Brian.
 
 We were a little worried as the time went on, but he arrived in great shape.

Sooa also showed up and had some lovely Korean gifts for us as we may not see her again.  We are staying an extra day and many others will move on.


Brian and Sooa

We then toured the Cathedral.  It is so incredible that it is hard to put into words.  The new world treasures clearly helped.

Below are some pictures and is worth noting that most of the work on the church took place before USA existed.




A few more plaza shots - we had to move indoors when the rain started.
