Last night in an Albergue.
These are basically ultra cheap accommodation for peregrinos (pilgrims) for a dormitory bed and shared bathroom!! Just like school. Still last night was great. Fortunately no snorers and a good night's sleep.
Had dinner with a lovely chap and his daughter. He is originally from Lebanon but now lives in Las Vegas! He has done the Camino 5 times so I was able to ask why so many Americans come. It seems they really appreciate the peace and quiet away from their normal routine. Also, much cheaper than the states and they appreciate the comradie. Not so much the religious experience.
Anyway we've now arrived in the beautiful cathedral City of Burgos which we will experience manana. It was quite an experience hacking through chest high vegetation at one point!
