Rabé de las Calzadas

Today's walk was very pleasant, and flat. Not having full packs also helped make the walk easier. 

We walked a short 13 km to Rabé de las Calzadas, a nice small village outside of Burgos. We didn't get out of town before 9 am, for a variety of reasons, not the least of which was oversleeping. Andie's "good morning" text message woke us up, just in time to get the bag down for pickup. In fact, Correos was already there, trying to call me. So much for worrying about leaving it behind. 

In the personal growth department, Lori was able to find some shrubbery to avoid having to walk 6 km with her knees pressed together. She said she'd never do it. I'm so proud of my nordy gal! 

At 6 pm we are sitting in a bar having an adult beverage before dinner at the albergue. 

Many albergues offer dinner and breakfast to pilgrims that want it. At this albergue, a bed is 8€, dinner is 8€, and breakfast 3€. For a total of $21 you get a bed and two meals. And they're good. Where you going to find that in the US? 

Tomorrow we are going to Hontanas, about 18.5km down the road. A couple of hills, but nothing like what we've seen to this point. My left knee started acting up in Burgos, but did OK today. We will hope it does well tomorrow. Peace and Love.
