We arrived to Burgos via Renfe train last night at 9;40 PM, giddy with exhaustion and excitement. First meal: salad, roasted chicken, glass of wine... Very chilly night, but clear starry skies.

Great story with train conductor who pulled the emergency stop when his pilgrims got so busy talking they weren't disembarking!

What are you wearing on your feet this time? what did you leave behind that you thought you needed the first time? I will be leaving in 7 1/2 weeks. Whoooo, I just had an adrenaline rush, all the way to my fingertips and toenails. I'm not sure if it's fear or excitement!! Buen Camino!!!

I left behind some heavy hiking sandals, but I was so happy with my gear and pack last time that I just brought all the same stuff, including the same boots. In fact, the only thing I really added this time was a huge ground cloth that I can lay down on the grass outside and take a nap on, End it will double as a blanket in really chilly out there cas end it will double as a blanket in really chilly Albergues! I used it today for the first time and was very happy that I brought it. Something I left behind that I didn't bring this time was 7 kg of body weight. I'm having an easier time!

Wow! With that much weight loss, I'm surprised you didn't have to go out and buy new pants!:) I just bought a very light weight table cloth from REI. It's big but very light weight and waterproof. I will use it to cover my mattress to prevent bedbugs, and outside to rest on. Buen Camino!!!!

Buen Camino Deb! May every moment of every day bring you everything that is wonderful.

Jenny
PS - when you go through Castrojeriz, take some time to go into the Hospital of the Soul which is located in the main street. It's a beautiful building - a gallery and a home - with a tranquil garden out the back. Did you visit it last time? If you didn't, I can thoroughly recommend it.

Hi deb
Buen Camino
I can't wait for 2 May 2016 starting my first Camino and already packed, this forum has been amazing thank you to all those that gave such wonderful wisdom and advice.
 
The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.
Buen Camino Deb.Counting the days until April 24th when we rejoin the Camino hoping to get to Burgos this year.

It has only been 5 months since we've completed the CF, and I am back on this forum reading about all the perigrinos going this year. Egads! It is so great to "see" everyone setting off. I do so enjoy hearing about all the plans and the excitement of anticipation. Buen Camino!
