Part 1 - Beginning in Burgos

Our hotel was in the Plaza of the Cathedral. A view from our window showed the recently cleaned front of the church.

Pilgrim statues every where along the whole camino. This one in Burgos is probably the most realistic. (Little did I know that I would feel like this guy by the time we reached Santiago.)

We searched for hours to find the Refugio to get our "pigrim's passports". Here we are with our body guard, Edwin (did I mention he's a 10th degree black belt?) ready to go...

The first 200 miles were across the Castillian Plains... (and I left West Texas for this?)
