Conde Luna 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:

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 cathedral in Leon. Like in Barcelona, most of the building was made like in 50's or 60's architectural features, even Hoteles Barcelona is has the same features. Same in the City of Leon, it is really amazing, Hotel Leon and other structures in the city is like a part of the history of the place and the culture of the people of Leon and the whole Spain.

I guess I will just go for two days instead of the whole weekend. So I figured up around $150 for two nights and four days (with hardly eating anything!) Later my roommates and I went to get a cat. We went to a girl's house that one ...

Ok, so it's Sunday, the day of rest. I think rest, at this point, is a little overrated. I am sooooo bored. I wish I had someone here to be with me. I tried to sleep in again and only was successful until 9:30 again. I washed some more clothes and had "church" by myself for awhile. I love having time to study the scriptures. I was able to ...

... drag my huge suitcase down the stairs and over to the door. It actually wasn't too hard to find and the guy at the desk gave me something to fill out and took me to my room where I met my roommate. She told me that she had just gotten there on Sunday and was only planning on staying for a month. She is from Chile so she speaks perfect Spanish. Apparently there will be another person coming in to the other room later. So traveling was very boring and interesting at the same time.

... night he went to bed so early because his back just cramped up, and probably the unheated albergue didn´t help with the tightness. This morning i awoke with a shooting cramp running down my leg, a feeling i haven´t dealt with since i started walking. We keep losing things, the biggest of which was ourselves; robert is ahead, jeff was behind, and me in the middle just waiting for somebody. Of course robert plowed ahead for many reasons, but one that i think is key is pure ...
