Burgos to Carrion de los Condes
Many, many more miles than we could do by foot
Fountain in a park in Burgos
Albergue Santa Clara (St. Clare of Assisi)
Can you tell what is in the clear jar?
From my journal: Went grocery shopping (less than 13 euros for dinner, breakfast, and lunch for two people) and had dinner at the albergue. A Portuguese guy, Jose, started a conversation with us--turns out he was in the same albergue as we were in Ages--2 days ago. When we walked to Burgos and bussed here, he walked the 100 km by foot. He started at St. Jean one week ago. (note that we are on day 14) He walks about 50 km a day and for 12 hours or so daily. Amazing. It's just no problem for him. He's probably in his late 30's, early 40's.
And if you haven't figured out what is the jar, I'll just tell you: it's snails. Mmmmm, huh?
