Encarnita and I are now back on the Camino. We had a boisterous dinner with friends in Madrid. Bus next day to Burgos. Sightseeing two marvellous monasteries: Cartuja de Miraflores and the Royal Monastery of Las Huelgas. Then on to the Camino Frances in the direction of Leon and Santiago. Two easy days from one camino town to another, before a longer day of 18 kilometers to Castrojeriz. The unending fields stretching out with their spring crops only recently emerging from the soil. Birds and bird songs all day long. The bluest sky you could imagine.

If I am lucky I will be able to post two pictures of the typical towns. A long single street with a row of houses on each side, fields behind. The heart we found today, a creation of Brian, the reikai master whom we met last year.
