Hotel Eurostars Leon 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>

... should I refer to them as Catalans?) going with the bikes as well, so we went together a little, they were nice.<br><br>to be continued...<br><br><br><br>

... spit a few drops of rain as I walked, making me rue the fact that I forgot to bring an umbrella, which could be a big problem when I get to rainy Bilbao. <br><br>I relaxed on a bench across from the cathedral, and struck up a conversation with an old local couple. They left almost as soon as we started talking! Maybe I've just been spoiled with the incredible friendliness found in Galicia and Asturias, but I didn't expect them to run off so ...

... camino gossip. That night i spent most of my time with David and Linda. At that time their 7 day old relationship was going strong. Suffice to say they chose to end it. Gawd, 7 days out of 35 is almost a lifetime. They covered love, to jealousy, to excitement, to ecstasy, to sadness and a little regret. We all crashed in a hostel together and I can now say ive spooned a girl with two of me, CHECK!

... the meeting is on Monday and she is supposed to be coming either Tuesday or Wednesday! I am not sure how that is going to work out. I am starting to look into more traveling opportunities after I return. Dr. Benton sent me a link to the webpage for the Fulbright scholarship. That seems pretty interesting. Basically it is kinda like being a TA in an English class in college in another country. The countries available are Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Uruguay, and Venezuela. It is very ...

Well today was REALLY boring! I tried to sleep in but only ended up sleeping "in" until about 9:30. I cleaned the apartment and worked on the computer for most of the morning. I got a lot of stuff done that was absolutely necessary like applying for some jobs and adding more pictures to Facebook. Right about the time that I finished that Dad called and I talked to him and Ash for awhile. After ...

We quite prided ourselves on being the last ones to leave albergues...and this morning was no exception: it was almost 8:30 when we left. A fairly pleasant walk, almost hot for a short time. Entering León took an exceedingly long time. Indeed, it was probably the largest city through which we passed. We followed the shell markers to the albergue: a municipal donativo affair ...

... the road has been difficult, because its been very straight and flat, very texas like, but because our spirits are flagging a little bit, because we are at the stage in this process where things break down, concentration lapses, fatigue is an issue, and strangely the camino´s spirit does not seemingly want to let a couple of pilgrims that could otherwise fly, just move really quickly. Jeff has been sick, unable to really eat, and consequently very weak for the past few days ...
