We left Ages early Saturday morning with Burgos as our destination. It rained on and off all morning. There was a rather steep, rocky ascent which was very slippery due to the rain. One crazy guy was running full tilt on the downhill side yelling at the top of his lungs. I was having enough of a challenge keeping my feet under me going slowly. There were three options for entering Burgos, and we chose the middle path. We were a little on edge coming into such a big city, through some rather sketchy neighborhoods, and seeing few other pilgrims. We walked for a while with a young man from Sydney. Burgos was buzzing as it was a national holiday weekend. The partying went on into the wee hours of the morning. We had rain again today with a stiff, cold wind blowing. We were grateful for finding a good stopping place for the night (in a brand new albergue in Hornillos del Camino called Meeting Point).
