Day 25 - Foncebadon to Ponferrada
... off work to do the Camino and a few other trips in Europe. However, surely the best part of the day would come when I left Molinaseca and passed a weird metal sculpture. It was dedicated to the "chorizo"...a huge metal sculpture of a piece of chorizo and a piece of string falling from it! That beats the Cruz de Hierro any day of the year.

El Castillo de los Templarios
... met last night as he was one of the people, as a matter of fact with the lady from France and Jerry, who was having dinner with us.
It was hard to explain but we didn't really feel like joining them today while they had breakfast so we didn't. Even yesterday we were hesitant in sitting with them for dinner although we did.
