Made it 20km before our friend adrien realized he dropped a 20 euro bill 10 kilometers back. Rachel and I waited with his pack for a little over an hour while he skateboarded over the gravel road back to where we stopped in a field. He came back with 2 hands in the air, carefully – but quickly – rolling over the last hill on his beatup skateboard. We walked 5 more km and stopped at the next albergue with a kitchen so we could make dinner and breakfast. Everyday a new adventure.

Hunter, Adrian and I had an awesome day today. Even with some bumps in the road, we’ve learned the many small tricks to having a successful day as a group and as individuals. Meeting new people, eating well and taking our time are the main three of those things. We will probably buy a tent once we arrive in León and begin camping together for a new experience in order to further challenge ourselves mentally and physically and save some money.

Terradillos de los templarios

The catherdral in Burgos is incredible.

33 kilometer walk today, spontaneous decision made due to the weather being amazing today and probably crappy tomorrow. Still felt great after 33k; could have kept going but this albergue has a super friendly bar and if you sit in the sun for four hours drinking lemonade they’ll give you free chips. This I know from experience.

The moon is lookin’ lovely on this fine night.

26k into Terradillos de Templarios. This albergue has clean floors and a fireplace and I am very content.

In Mansilla de las Mulas.
