Camino por la Sierra de la Demanda

So instead of studying for the exam I have today or working on the 4 papers that I have due in the next 4 days, Carmen and I went on 25 km hike in the mountains. And let me tell you, it was more than worth it. We took a bus with about 40 other Universidad de Burgos students/faculty to the Sierra de la Demanda, about 45 minutes outside of town. Here are a few pictures:

After 14 kms, we had lunch at the top on some rocks overlooking the valley
The first Cara and Carmen picture on record. She's so cute.
Doesn't matter where they are, Spaniards take a siesta after lunch.

The pretty colors of Fall


You can see Burgos in the distance



This is at the first peak - and a picture of the first snowfall in the province of Burgos.

And this is how close we got to those mountains. Which doesn't seem like a lot, but the other picture was zoomed. It was far, trust me.

Overall, pictures don't really do it justice, but that seems to be a general trend. It was just plain incredible!

So now Carmen and I are in incredible pain. We keep wobbling around the apartment like old women, so I'm sure it's pretty funny for Elena to watch. We were zombies afterwards, asleep by 9pm. And today, we're recuperating by cleaning and catching up on TONS of homework. Wish me luck with week!
