We slept in a bit this morning because we were only going 12 kms. Before heading out we had a nice breakfast at our accommodation. We saw Pieter from the Netherlands before he headed out in the rain, yes the day started with a drizzle again.  We also met father and son Dave and Matt from Manchester. We saw them along all day because they were taking a short day too. 

After arriving we had lunch and saw Marty and Liza from Connecticut again and had a nice chat. 

We are very close to Burgos now where we move into the Meseta. While the last 285 kms have been the physical part of the camino, strengthening your body, the next 230 kms strengthens your mind, oh don’t let that fool you it strengthens your body also. As you travel through long stretches of desert like vistas where you can see for miles and miles, you have lots of time for deep thoughts and internal conversations. 

We are looking forward to the next piece of our journey. Hope you are doing well. Buen Camino.
