Have arrived in Burgos

The crowds continue. Today is cold and very windy. We left Villafranca this morning (stayed in a lovely albergue attached to a hotel. Very nice and the same cost as the municiple!) and crossed the second of three mountain ranges. Long day. We are at the new refugio in Burgos right near the Cathedral. Very nice. Many familiar faces here. Including the man who wore the black thong in Pamplona. He is still roaming around but is thankfully dressed this time! Turns out many of the younger ones have been using buses to skip the ¨boring small towns¨ so that is why we rarely see them on the trail. This is one hopping place tonight. The partying is strong with the bikers and younger ones. We got the last two beds and a mattress tonight. We are in the ¨laundry room¨on the fourth floor which could be a real problem because the light automatically turned on at 7 p.m. tonight and there is no way to turn it off or on. The joys of Camino! Not much time and there is a line waiting to use the internet so I will hopefully get to update tomorrow. God is good and grace abundant.
