Buenos dias from Burgos Spain.

I attended Mass today at Catedral de Santa Marie XIII.  Beautiful, I am getting used to not hearing any English, hearing only Spanish.  Two thoughts occurred to me – one, I’m starting to pickup on more words in Spanish during Mass, and secondly, I hope I remember my parts of the Mass when I get home! Lol.

Approximatly 290 km completed and 490 km to go.  So far so good, however my feet have been a challenge. I have received some treatment and now it is time to take a day off and enjoy this beautiful city.

I think I trained reasonably well for the Camino, however I don’t think much can prepare you the hills and the type of paths. Here are a few pictures off some types of paths.  Up, down, flat … the terrain can be wearing.   I’m not complaining, this is what it is and so be it – deal with it.

I attempt to pray the full rosary daily, the chaplet and attend Mass when I can.  However, the prayer that comes spontaneously and impulsively is:

‘Oh Lord, my God I lift up my heart to you! Oh Lord my God my life belongs to you’.

Another impromptu prayer:

‘Jesus Christ Son of the living God have mercy on me a sinner’

Before signing off, happy belated birthday to my niece Melanie.  Blessings to you and the upcoming year.

As always, please pray for me as I pray for you.

Buen Camino
