thievery.

[espanol]

 I was in Burgos during the days  mentioned. We were told to leave the door
shut but someone left it open. Someone came in and took a backpack near the
door. The night before someone broke in through a window and stole a
backpack.In Los Arcos someone took a camera which had been left on a bed. I
never had any problems. I always attached my backpack to the foot or head of
the bed. I carried my valuables,passport,wallet,etc, in a fanny pack at all
times. Ten Cuidado y Buen Camino, Dennis Bivens
