Burgos!

Greetings from Burgos, Spain! It's a cityyyy! Today has been awesome and I'm hoping tonight will be even better. Last night I wasn't feeling too hot, after dinner with my Brazilian and Chilean friends I couldn't really sleep. I was up this morning at 5 before my alarm and decided to just start walking. It wasn't the most enjoyable walk, but when I arrived in Burgos it was awesome. The first thing you see is the massive cathedral and I knew I wanted to get a tour. It was soooo hot and I figured that bad boy would be cool, so I went straight inside. They had a guided tour where you just listened to this thing as you go, and I was all over it. I was obsessed. It was so incredible I can't even describe it. The churches here are all amazing but this one is by far the coolest ever. After my tour I went to check in at the hostel to make sure I got a bed and ran into Kari and Christian from the start of the camino... Illinois and Denmark. I haven't seen them since Pamplona, and I was so excited to see them it was an awesome reunion. Kari and I went out for lunch and drinks before heading back to the hostel to nap. We are at a bar right now getting wifi before heading to church at 7:30 and then out to dinner after. My plan was to stay here two nights, but I am not sure if I will stick to that or head out in the morning. I will see how I feel I guess.

I just wanted to send a special shout out to those who are commenting on here, commenting or posting on Facebook, emailing, or iMessaging. It is so nice to hear from you, whether it's a comment about what I've posted or just a simple hello- it means so much. I'm at such a great place in my life right now and that is because of all of you. I've mentioned before how blessed I feel but it's so true. I love my family, my job is incredible, my friends are the best, and the possibilities I'm given to travel and see the world are saaa-weeeet! This trip has opened my eyes to so much and in such a different way than Ghana did. Once again I realize how amazing I have it in the States, but I also can see how truly special and unique this part of Spain proves to be. I'm experiencing it one village at a time, one city at a time, one person at a time, one conversation at a time, and one step at a time. It's a remarkable journey that began two weeks ago. I can't wait to see where I am two months from now.... Actually I know... Getting ready for NOTRE DAME to take on Navy... GO IRISH!
