Hello, everyone. We got into Burgos yesterday about noon. The walk was wet but otherwise okay. We turned off the Strava at the McDonald's at the edge of town. (We go to McDonald's if we need to use internet, and the ones in Spain have good cafe con leche, too.) Then we looked at our info on the place we had reserved the day before and thawed out a bit before going on into the main part of the city.
Breakfast was at 0800 at an open cafeteria/bar on the way, just before the rain started.
The first church we came to, after McDonald's. The crucifix inside is really nice, but when I tried to add it in here Blogger turns the photo sideways.
Today, we are having a rest day. We went to the Museo de la Evolution Humana, where the artefacts from the Atapuerca Mountains archeological discoveries are still being made. The museum is really neat, the anthropology museum we have been in.
This nifty fellow is an atmospheric decoration near the entrance. He and his buddies (horse, rooster, wolf, maybe some others) are just fun. The exhibits about the geology and archeology are really neat. And by consolidating all of the work from the area together, over quite a collection of cave discoveries, they are able to build an exhibition about the continuum of the people and animals over the epoch.
The gift shop had a cute fabric tote with a print of the cave but I thought about carrying it for 300 miles to Santiago and left it in the shop.
