Hotel Alfageme 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.

... the Temple right on the Camino. That´s where I had my nightcap for today. I stayed two nights in Sahagun. The reason, I decided to do a day trip by train to Leon about 60km away. It sounded interesting in the guide. When I got to the station to check the train times, I discovered the next one was 2pm. Should,ve checked last night. To pass the few hours till 2pm I decided I would become a pilgrim for an hour or ...

... halt so is. Da dap da dap da da dada da. (let google translate) It's only 12 kilometres today. We are in no hurry to get to León, as Agnesa is already there checking out a pension for us. So we are among the last to leave around 9 am, and three hours later, we arrive at León almost fresh and just warmed up. The hustle and bustle of the big city is a stark contrast to the loneliness and quietude of the meseta. Pilgrims are ...

... if it is hard for the righteous to be saved then how much harder is it for sinners? Chapter 5 begins by focusing on the church, specifically the elders of the church. Peter says that the elders should lead the church as willing servants and not feel forced. They should not be greedy for money but eager to serve. They should not act bossy and proud but lead through example because when Christ comes back they will receive a crown for their diligence. Peter next turns to the young men ...

... 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 ...

... the town, passing bunker-like wine cellars along the way. The albergue keeper kept asking us about where we were from and exuded a certain strangeness. The town itself was merely a collection of brown houses and one bar. There was a lovely kitchen in the albergue, but no place to buy food for cooking. We found ouselves splitting the "pilgrim menu" at the one bar in ...

22 km. Yet another night we find ourselves in the company of Gregor (who looks like a caterpillar when he sleeps in his sleeping bag), to whom we have talked over the past few days because he's from the states and is our age. He's a nice guy but, sadly, carries too much stuff like everyone else on the camino. There was another girl our age in the albergue whose phone alarm kept going ...

well, its ten am and instead of walking as i´m usually doing, i´m in a funny bar called zentral, drinking some orange juice, listening to shakira and other hits blazing out of the radio, and blogging. We just never know where each day will lead us when we act out nomad fantasies and walk across countries and search for our spirits, and thats pretty cool. So for the past three days Jeff Rob and I have been walking by ourselves -- the way we worked this is four days ago now, we decided ...
