We jumped up thinking it was the bag transport company &#8220;Camino Facil&#8220;. I looked down from our balcony and low and behold there was Dee Anna wondering [...]]]></description>

While still dark outside, we woke up to meet our pilgrim friends Al and Ronda (from British Columbia) for breakfast. Their Hostal Moratinos is run by a kind German couple. We had our first vegetable egg omelette [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This particular section of the Meseta is extremely desolate with very few villages, restaurants or places to stay. We had to make some hard decisions since the towns are so spread out and there is a lot of ground to cover between Burgos and Leon. We opted to make two long 30 kilometer days back [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Some days on the Camino are long while others are short. We were really looking forward to the easy 19.25 kilometer day ahead. It&#8217;s funny how now 20 kilometers walking seems like nothing. We were a bit hungry this morning as we weren&#8217;t too successful the previous night in finding any substantial food besides a [...]]]></description>

We walked down the main street through town which again there was not a soul in sight. Although our guide book said La Taberna was open for breakfast, the doors were chained and locked.

Although we were feeling much better, we still needed to be cautious about over exerting ourselves and having a relapse. Hence, we decided to take a taxi [...]]]></description>

I rushed to look out the window, in the back of my mind hoping it was pouring down rain as it [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Belorado&#8217;s weather forecast looked bleak for today&#8217;s 24 kilometer walk to San Juan de Ortega. Sure enough, we stepped out of Casa Waslala Pension and dark clouds towered over us. We were freezing as we wrapped ourselves up in our warmest clothes, which actually weren&#8217;t too warm. This was the first time on the Camino [...]]]></description>

We felt as if we were carrying extra weight fighting against the violent winds pushing us back to Santo Domingo. We plowed through 7 km&#8217;s to Grañon, the last village in the beautiful Rioja wine region. Bar Teo, the only town bar, [...]]]></description>

This seems early for us, however the majority of pilgrims are gone just before sunrise at 7:15.
