The View From Above in Burgos

#Burgos#CaminodeSantiago

Burgos is the historic capital of Castile, located in the northeastern part of Spain.

We walked on part of the official "Camino de Santiago" trail to reach the "Albergue Municipal de peregrinos" ... The Municipal Hostel for Pilgrims.

Here we registered as pilgrims and obtained our passports.

Further on we climbed the many steps to the Castle "El Castillo". Unfortunately the Castle grounds were locked and closed today.

The walls of the Castle provides exceptional vantage points of the city.

The top of the Cathedral ...

There was so much to see in Burgos, Spain that I am doing several posts!

I started to write this "Postcard" on June 9th ...

I am finally finding the time to finish the "Burgos" postcards!

Hope will enjoy the tour of the city through my eyes and postcards!

Congratulations ...

Bubbles ...

 

My neighbourhood friends surprised us with a "Welcome Home" dinner and a Congratulatory toast to celebrate my walking accomplishment.

              

They gave me a trophy and a bottle of "Bubbly"!

What a wonderful surprise ... Thank you dear friends!

 

Jet Lag

#Jetlag

It has been a week almost to the minute that we arrived home ... delivered to our front door by a dear neighbour who so kindly came to pick us up at the Air bus drop off.

For some reason ... I have been really struggling with adjusting my internal body clock to the time change. 

The "Jet Lag" has been torturous this time for me  ... early nights, early mornings!

Everything I have read says it should have been worse when we arrived in France ... .ie. Travelling east when the clocks advance. 

I had no trouble adjusting when we arrived in France.

Thursday morning, July 24th ...

Slowly I am a bit better these past couple of days ... and I hope I can get back into my normal routine!
