Alfonso V León

I did´n get to see munch of Madrid exept the metro system. Went to the airport to straighten things with Air Comet/AeroMexico and then back to the train station. Quite tiring.
But Trini was so nice, a perfect host !
Leon is a nice middle-sized city with a beautifull cathedral and narrow streets typical from spain, and of course a good nightlife. I went out this night with Ruth (Trini´s daughter) and her friends, and had a great time !
I like spain, I´ll be back next year.

I arrived to Leon at 6 in the morning (and yes, the sun goes up at something around 8 here:) and just following the camino:

... into Hostal Bayon, because I remember when I called to book the place, the girl answering the phone had a very sexy Spanish accent. But with my luck, she's probably a 65-year old granny!

Hopping off the bus, I gathered my backpack and realized that I had lost one of the waist-strap clips! Noooooooooooooooo!!! Anybody that has a big backpack like this knows that this is the most critical piece of equipment, since this puts all of ...

... the way to go on their fast Renfe trains. And what beautiful countryside we rode through as we headed north over 200 miles in about 2 hours. Was that a castle? Definitely small and large churches set among green fields as far as the eye can see, cattle and horses grazing, beehives, small villages and windmills (not of the don Quijote variety but very modern). As we pulled into León, our very own ...

... should always be prepared to give an answer if someone asks what is different about you. Your answer should be given in humility so that no one can say anything bad about you. Chapter 4 continues by saying that you will suffer as Christ has suffered. You should not live by the flesh but by the will of God. The pagans live in sin and find it odd that you do not join them and make you suffer for it but they will be judged at the end of time before God. He goes on to say that each ...

Today was a day full of meetings and other stuff. Before I even went to class I had to go to the International Relations office to get officially enrolled in the University of Leon, then I had to go to the Education building to get officially enrolled in classes. Then I finally went to school (about an hour late). I went to two hours of classes then I had a meeting with all ...

... sod whos walked from the start to go without. Luckily weve got a good pace now and am usually first to arrive. Staying in a free place with free internet and a pool! Got rest the muscles somehow :) Tomorrow i think ill take a rest day and prepare for the last part of the journey. Also, got a whopper of a blister on my right heel, time for the syringe i think! ;) Nice.

... to put a road through the site...its just not right. Arriving into Leon, its like any big city, crowded and dirty. Tonight we stay in a monastery, a haven away from all the noise but the original plan of taking our first rest day since the start, could be altered to allow us a rest day somewhere further on....somewhere more restful! Just 282km to go now, expected finish date is 13th August.

... Worth to raise funds for breast cancer research. in honor of them, we have unanimously decided to walk in solidarity and to do at least 20 miles (like we did today) for the next 2 days. luckily, we are strapping young lads with strong backs and a penchant for quoting Monty Python and all movies starring Will ´the bovine´ Farrell. i have three minutes until the computer eats my email so i must say adieu, or more fittingly, adios. trae and i are nearing our 50th day on the road as ...
