Today we had breakfast at our hotel and walked to the Mass at the Convent of the Clarissas.  The nuns and postulates were in front of the grating, whereas the rest of us were behind the grating (except when the priest came to our side to distribute Communion.)  It was cold and rainy and dreary.  We left Belorado and stopped in Villafranca Montes de Oca (goose), a little over 12 km.  Don didn’t want to go on, because the next 12 km are supposed to be really hard (hills)!  So, we got a room in the Hotel San Anton Abad (St. Anthony, Abbott) because Don read that it was “worth it.”  The breakfast is included, so that clinched it! We washed our clothes, hung them out, used the computer briefly, watched T.V., and, generally, vegged out. We’re in the province of Burgos, now.  We had a good Pilgrim’s Meal in the hotel.  Thank you, God, for a safe day!
