Monday 9 October cold morning, warm day. Weather is warming again.

Looking back to and earlier  blog post (same date 7years ago) we have cloudless skies today – and out for the next ten days at least – whereas we had rain and wind and mud previously.

We have been enjoying seeing the older entries both for the history and mis-adventures.  Not much changes in the world.

The cathedral is designed to shock and awe; it does.  Could not resist a photo from inside the cloister while looking up.

The church is polychrome heaven. Each chapel more impressive than the previous as one visits them in chronological order starting with those of the XII and ending in the XVIII.

Our Camino guide book says to plan at least, a very minimum, of six hours just to see the church interior.  The exterior is also impressive 

Notice the silver Chariot on the lower left.

Trump staircase with silver, not gold, chariot.

He must have pre-ordered and not paid.

Stopped on tapas streets, San Lorenzo for some wine comparison – becoming lushes – and a small snack.

Ordered a Rioja Crianza and a Reserva Riberra, the regional stuff.  Both good but we slightly preferred the Riberra. 

Burgos has been fought over for more than a 1000 years. Separate from and then joined to and then ….. but now Spain seems more united than in a very very long time.

The news, each evening, has been almost exclusively about the Cataluna vote and what will happen now.  Many talking heads discussing the same limited info; just like at home except in Spanish. 

The demonstrations as televised show a united Spain with Cataluna remaining.  TV news says 80%  wish to remain united. 

Dinner.
