Day off in Burgos was rainy, holiday so everything closed, walked around cathedral, stopped in at coffee place with pan chocolate then visited castle although did not venture into underground tunnels. Museum of Evolution closed due to holiday; a shame because oldest evidence of Neanderthals in this region. As rain permitted, walked about, enjoying beautiful walkways along the river etc. stopped at a local fine food emporium to purchase a top notch Spanish prosciutto, wines and other goodies. Pizza night second night. Discovered dollar stores have made their way to Spain. Dan bought a bright orange rain cape in case of further moisture, leading to an infamous incident the following day of the cruising pumpkin, eerily flapping in the wind and seen for miles around.
