Bierzo Plaza 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.

... miró fijamente a los ojos, me dio la mano, y me dijo "Encantado". Derretido. No podía gritar como una loca, me tuve que contener. La visita a la fábrica fue privada, reservada a los dueños de la empresa, pero luego hubo unos cuantos discursos en la carpa instalada para el evento en el párking: el alcalde de Valdefresno, el Vicepresidente de la Junta de Castilla y León, el Presidente de ...

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:

I met a group of for ...

... bakery. After eating, the waitress left me a slip of paper, with the number 7 written on it - pretty expensive breakfast!!! When I inquired about it, it turned out that it wasn't the price, but the number of the server. I was supposed to take the slip of paper to the cashier, where they would calculate the total. The bakery was only so-so, but I would definitely return for the clientele! One had an Elena Anaya thing going on - in other ...

... a bar outside their pension, get my head straight. Having dinner with Max and Petra is becoming a tradition, and we are not to break it today. The refuge is rather shabby, but as a pilgrim, you are grateful for what you get, remember? It is a shower and a bed after all, so no complains here. Tomorrow we will have moved on and the hardships of today will just be a distant memory (chiefly due to the hardships of tomorrow, but not the point). Anyway, time to get a good cap of sleep.

Today pretty much went normally for the most part until after school. I had a meeting with José Santamara, the professor in the education department. I was about 20 minutes late because I couldn't figure out how to get there. It is a brand new building and there is still construction all around it so it took me awhile to find the path around the construction to the building. He said that someone will come ...

... t have it so Rita gave her information but I paid for it. She said I could keep the phone but she wants the chip when I leave. I got a prepaid phone so I still need to put minutes on it. I really don't think I will be using it that much but it is good to have, just in case I get lost or something. I went to class but apparently we didn't have class so I went and watched a parade instead. It was so COLD! And it started to rain a little so I ...

... and spoke English, she told me what lines to take to get to the train station. So I got there ok and found a place to use the internet, but I had to pay 7.5 euros for 45 minutes! I finally figured out where I was supposed to go and got on the train, not too hard, and I actually kinda fell asleep during the ride which was about 5 hours. At the end I had to get a taxi to the school which proved to be more difficult than I had anticipated. I sat there and waited for ...

... and on highways, we did hop off at a town to have lunch at a supermarket restaurant which was cheap, food and petrol in Spain is cheap and we had our pasta, fajitas and beers for less that 10AUD each, bargain. Out of town and on to Porto we had the lovely hills and national park to drive through before hitting the border, other than signs you would not think that you crossed anywhere, but we were, we were in Portugal, bring it on.
