Today was a long day and the sun was pretty dang hot the second half of the day. I headed out around 7 AM and quickly met up with fellow travelers. The first stop, I had what I can best describe as a breakfast sandwich. It really was on of their tortillas which is like a potato quiche in a sandwich with an egg and of course ham. That fielded me and I met back up with Gil the Dutchman and company. He always has a following of people around him. We shared the last 10k walk into Burgos with it all being the industrial side of town. It wasn't very photogenic. The funniest was seeing a broken down hotel called the Las Vegas Hotel. Burgos was a bustling city with a lot going on, but I quickly walked through it. After Burgos, there wasn't much scenery. It turned into these rolling mesas that seem never ending. The last 5k my shin started to hurt a little. People that I talked to said shin splints. It's never happened before so we will see if it goes away. I had a reservation which is nice because the town appeared to be full. There weren't many restaurants in town but the albergue was very comfy and the owner was very very helpful.
