More of Zaragoza and traveling to Burgos, Spain

A whole leg of Lamb!!! Glorious! This was at an amazing hidden away restaurant in the Rijos region I believe.
The Restaurant! We stopped here on our way to Burgos
The next three photos were taken from the car. This IS Spain!!!

In Zaragoza while walking around we passe a wedding and there was confetti absolutely EVERYWHERE!!!
The Basilica in Zaragoza


More from the Expo


Lol, at the campsite. :-D

Sunday was our last day at the Expo. The kiddos enjoyed going to all the exhibits because they had this little passport that they got stamped at the ones they visited and were so thrilled about that. They spent hours in the car counting and comparing them. Twas hilarious. :-D
We jumped in the car and drove several hours through the country which was gorgeous in the mountainous areas, but when we were driving through the dryer areas and passing all these vacant rather pretty houses made from clay, I guess, I kept thinking I would see Clint Eastwood riding over the hill. Haha, am I a geek or what!?! I had the music from "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly" playing in my head, LOVE that! We stopped for an amazing meal in this small, but lovely restaurant. I ordered a leg of lamb and we had a wine from the region which was fantastic.
We drove about another hour, arriving in Burgos as the sun was setting. We checked in to this quaint, romantic old hotel, which was so squeeky when one walked that not even a ghost could pass down the hall without being heard. :-P We then walked around the city and then off to bed to be ready to tour Burgos in the morning!
