Expectations

We have finally arrived in the Spanish city of Burgos after 24 hours of travel. I am not sure exactly what I thought Spain would look like but what I have seen so far was not in my imagination. I have only seen the landscape from a plane and a train but it reminds me of west Texas, very brown and dry. Our contact person who met us in Madrid assured me that it would get green the further north we traveled. We will soon find out! Tomorrow we will rest up and get organized to begin walking on Saturday. 12+ miles day one! Our room tonight is in a very old hotel right in the city and we have a balcony! I feel like I am in an old movie! Here's hoping the city streets settle down and the bed is comfortable!
