Tonight"s accommodations. Foncebadon, Espagne.

Goats roaming free. They make yogurt from goat's milk. Walked from 730 this aM til about 3 pm. Nice young Romanian man checked me in. I took a top bunk again; my choice. Hand washed my clothes, Hung them out to dry, showered and now sitting out in the sun. Dinner at 7; chicken paella and wine. Then sleep. First day I wore a jacket. The wind waS strong all day a head wind. Feet are tired. Hasta banana.

cathedral in Burgos

Toured this huge cathedral yesterday. There was a Divinci painting inside as well as all the grandeur. Had dinner with a.family from Salt Lake city and next table over were some people I've seen walking.
Today I will bus it to Leon for the day then figure out where I will start walking again to finish in time to get to Santiago and to Madrid airport by 2 July. Looking forward to a long hot bath and really clean clothes.
Got a good rest last night. That always helps.
One thing I have noticed is that none of the toilets provide a way to dry ones hands, although a few have had hand dryer,but most have nada. So my pants have a second use. Also, my jacket has a second use as a pillow when not provided. I'm not complaining, just explaining what it is like on this walk.
Yesterday a young quite handsome Irishman passed me on the walk, pand as all folks do we said hello (hola) and Buen Camino (have a good walk on the path). This morning I sat next to him while eating breakfast. He remembered me and I found out he is a so.here and guitar player (teaches for a living). Check out his web site, WWW.keithburke.com , I haven't had time to do so.
Am waiting for a bookstore to open and then catch the bus. Until later, adios!
