          We left the albergue at 6:30 without breakfast, but after a few km we found a bar on the side of the path where we could stop for some food. Rebecca walked up soon after and joined us at our table. The three of us started back on The Way.
          It was not a long day, but it felt longer because we ended up walking along a main road for several km and everything looked very industrial. We passed several lamp stores and if we had been in an episode of Top Gear and had vehicles, I would have seriously considered buying someone a chandelier. Once we reached Burgos the scenery began to change. Instead of the ugly asphalt streets, the road turned to cobblestone and was lined with cool little shops.
          We got the to the albergue about a half an hour before it opened and sat down to wait outside with the other pilgrims. The doors opened at noon and we went inside to check in. The guy at the counter actually asked if I was Caleb's sister. He was the first person to get it right. Everyone else asks if I am either his brother or his wife. I am not sure which is worse. I am just assuming sister is not a common word to know in English like brother is. There is no way I look like a guy. We got showers and settled in before heading out in search of lunch.
          We found a place where the menu said "we speak English" in big letters and decided to go there. The guy who ran the place definitely spoke very good English. He made us kababs and french fries before we went off to explore the town. We ended up getting ice cream and walking around for a while before heading back to the albergue during ciesta. We had found some laundry soap at the store and washed our clothes. We spent some time reading while everything was closed down, but then went to explore some more once everything had opened back up.
          Around dinner time we decided we weren't too hungry and just bought supplies at the store to make ourselves something to eat. We put some sandwhiches together and ate in the albergue's kitchen. We ended up staying there for about an hour and talking to some other pilgrims. It was a good night, but it started to rain. Hopefully it clears up before tomorrow!
