A Day Off in Burgos

Today was a lazy day. We slept in and had an early lunch. After our delicious lunch we went to explore the Burgos Cathedral. Its one of my absolute favorites. 

Just amazing. 

St. Anthony's Chapel. It was kinda lame, and Abe vowed to make a better one before he dies. 

The gothic architecture in this cathedral is just incredible. 

This is St. James, the saint whom the trail is named after. Here he is trampling some people, which looks kind of violent, but Abe said they were probably the Moors. 

Look how far we've walked! We are about 1/3 of the way done! This map makes it look more like 1/2 but I think its just how I took the picture. 

We said goodbye to our South African friends. They are off to Madrid for a few days. 

Of course we had to take a picture with the pilgrim statue. He kind of looked like he had leprosy. 

After the cathedral, we came back to the hotel and napped. After our nap, we headed to the market to pick up some fruit for tomorrows breakfast. We bumped into our Canadian friends and spent some time planning with them. We have decided to call ourselves the North American Walking Group so we can reserve 4 spots in each albergue (there is an Irish group doing this). They are just about the kindest people I've met here on The Way.

(Theres our hotel on the corner! The AC Burgos, loved it and highly recommend it!)

We had supper at our hotel and it was very delicious! It certainly made up for our bad supper from the day before! 

Buen Camino from a stuffed, tired, and happy Pilgrim!
