Finally entering La Meseta

Day 7: Burgos - Hornillos, 31 km

Endless cornfields, never-ending horizon and above all: it´s absolutely quiet !!
The only sounds are the humming of the beas, bird singing and the sound of my footsteps.This is so overwhelming !! I feel in absolute peace with myself.
When I reached Hornillas I had a long rest outside the village, lying on the grass, watching the clouds above me and enjoying the quietness. Now I understand the Spanish saying: ¨el Camino es como una droga¨. I would love to walk on to Santiago - and I know : I will.
A big hug to all of you, Pelegrina Beate.
