NARRATIVE: A beautiful day for walking. The rocks were hard on Tere's feet, but I enjoyed the walk. We took the variant river trail, which I walked with Frederic so was engaged in interesting conversation most of the way. I really anticipated more Spanish people along the route for Tere to converse with, but alas, none so far. Once again, we said goodbye to Frederic and we made it to the albergue by 11:30, but it didn't open until 12:00 so we basked in the sun a bit.
Burgos is a beautiful town. Lots of leafy trees and a nice breeze all day. We ate lunch at a kebab place, which was good, but I had a stomach ache all afternoon. We got back to the albergue around 17:00 and rested until dinner, which was a nice communal meal reminiscent of France. In fact, at least 1/2 of the pilgrims here are French.
