Life's a Stitch

And more recently life’s a creative adventure with some travel thrown in.

We agree that if feels like we're getting stronger. Today's 21k (13 miles) felt like a normal day, the beautiful weather helping.

Breakfast in Burgos was at Cafe Mayor where a slice of Spanish tortilla (similar to frittata, but flipped in the pan rather than baked), a piece of baguette and an espresso cost 2e.

We walked through the university where we saw this St. James the Pilgrim statue.

On we went into the countryside where we caught a pilgrim snoozing by a stream.

The terrain is starting to turn into Spain's Meseta, the high plains of harvested fields that will go on for days.

They say when you enter the Meseta your thoughts turn inward. I guess you're not as distracted by the scenery.

As it got later and warmer C appreciated my mantra, "ice cream, ice cream, ice cream."
