To the incredible city of Burgos

Today I came from Atapuerco to Burgos, a really beautiful city.  As usual, I left in the dark and the trail was slow going for a couple of hours on a climb up fractured rough limestone.  Last night I was invited to dinner with an international group of 20-somethings.  An Italian girl made pasta and her and I sang along with Dean Martin "That's Amore" while she cooked.

September Planning

 A week to go before I leave for the Camino!  I have been making a possible schedule and packing list.  I'm also starting this blog...  I don't know who'll be reading it, so please make a comment for me so I know. Here's the schedule.  There is almost no chance that I'll be exactly on this schedule.  Part of the Camino pilgrim experience is going without knowing exactly where you'll end up that day.  I have quite a bit of flexibility so if I need recovery days, it shouldn't be any problem.  I might want to walk slower too.  Days Walking Destination Notes Target Lodging Reserve ?
