I am currently in Burgos. I arrived here last night and it was the hardest walk yet. The day before I walked an extra ten Kilometers in order to give me self an easy stroll into the city so maybe I would have more energy to skate or explore. Wrong! I ended up walking in rain and wind and hail the whole day. I slept like a rock and now I am feeling refreshed. I am going to take a rest day here and continue tomorrow morning. How am I feeling? Honestly, I am very lonely and it is nice in one way because I have all the time in the world to contemplate my place in my life and in the world. However, the romanticism of this loneliness is wearing of in the same way the romanticism of being in a foreign country is. I haven’t hit the wall physically but emotionally it seems as though I have. However, this city is beautiful. I know a lot of people sigh at gothic artchetecture and I understand why humbillity  is often better than extravagance but the cathedral here is one of the most beautiful things I have seen in my entire life. My goal of meeting more skaters in different cities hasn’t really been manifesting but I’m still optimistic. I am contemplating a lot but I am missing my friends and family and constantly wishing I had someone to share these experiences with. It’s true that you don’t know you’re life until you leave it. I feel as though I’ve gained a heightened awareness over the past week or so about the importance of specifically the amazing people that I have been blessed with in my life.
