Shopping in Burgos

Well, it was only a matter of time that Margrett got me to go shopping. I actually didn't even know where the shops were. It's not like they have box stores with big neon lights. But we stumbled onto them last Saturday and it turned out to be a very fun day. Cory left pretty early on and that left the 2 of us to take all the time we wanted. The clothes here are all super stylish and you should see how the women dress to even go shopping. There were times where I'd just watch the people because it was like they all stepped out of a fashion magazine. I felt like I had dressed up because I wasn't in my running shoes (thank goodness for that one), but these people were amazing. Skinny jeans and boots are a must, as well as a closet full of scarves in every pattern and color. No one goes anywhere without a scarf. They also don't skimp on coats. I know Burgos is supposed to be an icebox, so it goes without saying that they have a closet full of different coats.

I probably wouldn't have bought anything because of the prices, but it was like I was being egged on to do something dangerous or something. It was like Margrett was daring me to do something outrageous and so I couldn't not rise to the challenge. So I came home with 2 very good purchases. We had a great time together, too. We even stopped in at a little cafe to have hot chocolate and crouissants, which were amazing. The hot chocolate isn't exactly what we are used to in the states. It was so rich and thick. More like dipping sauce for the crouissants. Oh, life is good.
