Villafranca Montes de Oca

I did not feel especially well this morning as we left Belorado, despite a decent nights sleep. We got out of town at 7:30, walking in a gray breezy morning. Normally this would be welcome, and it was to a point, but I perspire, a lot, and I was just cold and felt icky. I will confess, my spirits were low and I just wasn't feeling it.   After passing through one village and into the next we came across an albergue/bar and decided to stop. Lori had her cafe con leche and I had a cup of tea. Normally I would have had coffee, as those of you who know me know I need my coffee. Drip coffee is not served in most places here, the closest thing is cafe Americano. OK, this may sound a bit ungrateful, but the cafe Americano served in most places here is horrible.  Not at all what I want. The black tea did its thing and I started to feel better.  While walking Lori and I hatched a plan to buy a large duffle bag in Burgos. We need one to use when checking my pack on our return flight anyway. We will fill it with stuff we don't need while walking and have it sent ahead using Jacotrans, or some other bag carrying service. They will transport it to wherever we ask them to and we won't have to carry it! 

Burgos is a large city and we came during some festival of some kind. Lots of people. Lori and I had a nice  dinner and dessert. Looking forward to seeing Nathan again tomorrow.
