Saturday, June 11, Day 20 on the camino
Today was a short day for me that was only about 12 miles to Leon, and then another one mile walking around town looking for a place to sleep. Yesterday was actually one of the hardest days I have had on the Camino because I just seemed to have run out of energy. The terrain …

Sunday, June 5, Day 14 on the Camino
Today was a zero day on the Camino as we decided to stay in Burgos one more day to rest and see some of the sights. Yesterday, and especially yesterday night, was a typical Saturday in a Spanish town when the old downtown comes alive with people from all over the area. There were hundreds, if …
