Del Pozo 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.<br>But Trini was so nice, a perfect host !<br>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 !<br>I like spain, I´ll be back next year.<br>

... de locura para organizarlo todo. Protocolo, seguridad, lista de invitados, y un sinfín de pequeños detalles que se tenían que hacer: placas, pancartas, limpieza, preparar itinerario, etc., etc.<br><br>Llegó el gran día: el Presidente llegaba a las 6.30. Tras dejar pasar a todos los invitados que conocíamos y dejar que Seguridad de La Moncloa se apañase con los que no conocíamos, todos a ...

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:<br><br>I met a group of for ...

Up and off to do some sightseeing before leaving for Leon - Oviedo is famous for pre-Romanesque architecture, but most of it was not readily accessible on foot, so I decided to check out Fuente Foncalada, which was one of a few examples close to the city centre. A bit of a disappointment! <br><br>Off to the cathedral to see the inside - there's a belief that if you turn three times the key found in the hand of the San Pedro statue and make ...

... a second or two, then started to ask when the next bus would be. As we were trying to accept the fact that we would miss our reservations, she said ¨wait, there are two places on the 4:30 bus to Leon¨, which is what we had asked for in the first place. Phew. All we had to do was call the Leon hostel to say we´d be later than expected. All in all a very stressful travel day, but we got to see the beauty that is ...

... that a woman's beauty should come from inside and not physical beauty (such as fancy clothes or makeup). Some people take this passage wrong as well and decide that Peter meant that women should never wear fancy clothes or try to make their outer appearance look better. I think that Peter just means that the outer appearance should be secondary to the inner beauty of a woman. Women don't have to look bad all the time, but no matter how they look the beauty of their spirit should be ...

... gjorde det iskaldt. Hadde vi ikke hatt Devold ull innerst og Bergans regntoy ytterst ville det vaert svaert vanskelig. Mange av vaare venner har daarligere utstyr og var skikkelig soaked og kalde om kvelden. Vi er heller ikke saa mange igjen av "vaare", noen tar litt kortere dager, andre er blitt syke - har hoert om minst 5 av dem som har maatett ta pauser. Noen lurer paa skoene vaare - vi gaar i vanlige goretex joggesko som er fint paa grus ...

... from Germany, one guy is from France, one guy is from Turkey, one girl is from Australia and one other girl is from the US (I don't remember which state though). It was the first time I had heard English spoken (really spoken, not like in English class with the kids) since I got here. It was a little weird hearing and speaking English again ...

... we were able to enjoy true Chinese food and, later, were treated to a not-so-improv "jam session" (the people seemed to do this every night) at the albergue, as a man had brought his guitar on the camino and many of the old folks joined in on punk rock classics such as "Wild Rover" and "Champs Elyseés." Then some bald Norwegian walked in and the guitarist exclaimed, "there's that guy!" and tried to get him to ...

... home any sooner, since our planes to return home dont take off until dec 8th without the possibility for me of changing the flight. better to enjoy what i´m doing than worry about rushing time, a herculean feat in any case. The meseta is very pretty, despite its mental and spiritual toughness -- maybe flatness is a better word though, because our spirits definitely reflect the scenery we walk through. The trail here has been saddled with country highways next to it for most ...
