We spent some of our break day in Burgos doing laundry. Lori met some other American Camino walkers at the nearby laundromat who helped her figure out the machines, soap, & money.

Jane rested her sore heel & then we both went out to tour the gothic Burgos Cathedral here, after sampling chocolate treats in an outdoor cafe near the River Arlanzón.

And we did manage to meet up with our Camino friends Ingrid & Andy (from Australia) this evening for tapas near the Plaza Mayor in the medieval part of the city.

Walking the Camino can be physically hard, but in its ever moving/shifting community of people, it’s easy to strike up conversations, share stories, and find joy in making new friends from across the world.
