Today’s route will be unusually interesting, in a historical and cultural sense; our path will be passing the archeological site studying the oldest human remains ever found (a UNESCO heritage site). The remains found here date back over 900,000 years, with more artifacts pointing to human activity 1 million years ago!
This roughly translates to: Ever since the pilgrim came to be in the mountains of Burgos of Navarra and saw the expansive fields of Spain, he has not enjoyed a view as beautiful as this.
When we reach our final destination of the day (Burgos), it will be another experience altogether. Burgos has a population of approximately 200,000 people, and is teeming with activity. Many pilgrims, after traveling over a week through quiet, secluded hamlets, find themselves with culture shock, and get overwhelmed by activity. I am not sure that this will be my experience because I am used to life in the city, but it will be interesting to gauge our reactions to all the people I am sure we’ll encounter.

Happy Autumn Hope + Sebastien! Did the full moon keep you awake last week?
Oh so envious, although the Rogue River was pretty darn wonderful, too.
