the CathedralWe are now leaving France to see Spain and the first place we will look at is Burgos. Things have changed so much for just driving towards the border you suddenly realise you not in France anymore, for the language has changed. Stopping at a service station, everything is different. Worse of all the people do not understand you anymore. No English. You now know, that you are in a different country. We have to use sign language to obtain the things you are after. But we manage. The Tom Tom took us directly to the place. Burgos is a lovely place. It was founded in 844 as a stronghold against the Moors. You can spent a week there to see it all. Of course the churches play again a big roll. They direct the history of those times. Burgos is also the place of El Cid. The cities most famous citizen. His name was Rodrigues Diaz A soldier of fortune. Born in 1026. He was famous in the time that the Moors were in comand of Spain. The Cathedral is a must. We spent a lot of time there to admire all those treasures. It is the third largest Cathedral

entrance to the city Burgos in Spain, behind Seville and Toledo. It is a pleasure to walk along the river that runs through the middle. We had a small problem with the food, but that is no wonder.Late at night we deicided on pizza, that we ate at a very small table, watched by a pair of older Spaniards that tried to have a converstaion with us. Most that we came to was Bueno Noches and that we now know is Good Night. Spain is deffinitly cheaper than France and with this we wish you all Bueno Noches till next time. Liz & Allan
