Day 15-16, Burgos-Hornillos Del Camino-Castrojeriz. 468.5km Left

Sorry for not posting yesterday, we were in a tiny little town in between two huge mesetas with no internet. But I shall tell you about the days events.
Before I tell you about the days happenings, I shall tell you what happened in Burgos. Dad and I stayed in that Albequerque out of town. I had walked into town to see if there was a bakery open or not, but because it was ciesta, there was none open, so back to the Albequerque. At around 6:30, after dad had kicked my butt in a few games of Crazy eights, we have started a crazy eights tournament, person with the most wins in Santiago, wins, we went to town for Supper. We went straight to the Kabob place that we had gone the day before. After supper we went for and Ice cream , I bought, and then we went to the Square. While walking to the square, you will never guess who we met. Yes thats right, Ceaser and Kate. They were just sitting there looking at the marvelous Cathedral. Kate had a cast on the left foot, dad and I wondered what happened. Kate told us this long story, but the outcome of the story was that she had tendinitis and she had to stay off her foot for 2 days so she was not able to hike so they would be taking the bus to maybe catch up to a few people. wow, that was alot. So after talking to them for a while we said good bye.
Back at the Ablequerque dad sat and talked to a dutch guy, and I went and sat in line for the internet, but never got on, and talked to these two german boys.
So yesterday we woke up and were out the door bye 6:30. Not bad. todays hike was only 19km. nice and easy, it was really flat. I finally figured out how to make black and white pictures on my camera, and I got a really nice one. So we walked into the town, and the first thing we saw was a store, so we went in the store and bought some food. For supper it was Spagehtti with some really good meat. hmmmm, very good. After a few more games of crazy eights, I went to bed. 8:00pm wow.
I had an amazing sleep, but still tired.
Todays hike was 21.2 km long, not that bad. We were hiking on Mesetas today. After hiking five kilometers we ran into fiona who had just woken up and was begining her day. Hiked another 5 km and then got to a town called Hontanas. It really didn´t look like there was going to be a town for another 20 km, but then all of a sudden a big drop and there was a town, with a store. Dad had 2 coffees and a piece of eggs stuff and a piece of cake, I had a coke and a cola coa, and 2 pieces of that egg thing. Very good. It was 5.7 km till our next stop. Very nice piece of hiking. Threw fields and more fields and trees. Along the way I got a very nice picture of a fludderbye (Butterfly). Out stop was at the ruins of the Convento de San Anton. Very nice place. Dad met 4 dutch bikers who had biked all the way from The Netherlands and we hoping to be in Santiago in two days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thats 400km in two days!!!! Well, we kept on hiking and here we are, in a town that has a wonderful view, and a castle on top of a mountain, but it is in Ruins, but still wonderful. The Albequerque we are staying in is very nice, really old. Tonight we are going to have supper with Fiona. We are making it, she is taking the wine and bread. Bread in Manditory.
Well, that is alot of writing for 2 days, but thats ok. I thank you all for the wonderful comments. Hope you are all having a wonderful summer. Miss you all, well my family, hehe. Bye bye
B-E-A-UTIFUL!

I did no tread everyting Jakob wrote. but mine will be brief this time. Whoever said that this part of the trip would be boring was completely wrong. It is great. we have walked through grain field after grainfield, seen a beautiful sunrise, had delicious cafe con leche, visited a wonderful ancient ruin of a convent, observed the ruin of a castle on a hill, and right now we are in the most charming refuge. It is very old but again we have a bed by the window, and it is very quiet. The guidebook says that this town seems to be on a permanent siesta, and it really is true.
The leg is much better. Really took it easy yesteday and most of today, and I will rest again now. The swelling and soreness are going away, so I shoul dbe able to keept up with Jakob pretty soon again. Trish, we both miss your voice, but we have not yet been able to figure out how to phone with a phone card. Don´t be surprised when we do call though. And all you guys talking about us? What´s that all about.
Life is simple: sleep, eat, wash clothes, take care of your feet, and that´s all. Tonight we have a dinner guest, Fiona from Cornwall England. Hope we manage to put soemthing decent together. She´s bringing the bread and wine.
