Walking Day 12

We began this cold day a little later as the walk would be shorter and we planned on staying at a hostel for 2 days. So off at 0730 in dawn light we went passing Atapuerca, where the oldest Homo Antecessor has been found (900,000 hrs). The rest was just walking rolling hills until we reached the outskirts of Burgos. The walk in was thru industrial areas that were boring except for the San Miquel plant. We found a Hostel with plenty of room and a nice bath for our 2 day stay where we dropped our packs, took a short nap and headed out for food and drink. This town has a lot to see. Here C Columbus was received on his 1st return and El Cid is laid to rest on the cathedral.

  1. Hey guys! We're so proud to know you! Remember, Columbus didn't discover the new world, it was the Irish. They didn't find any potatoes so they turned around! Same with Hawaii. Tried to get Jim to walk with me to the corner.....but Monday Night football was on.,
    Love,
    Jill & Jim
