La Posada Regia Hotel 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>

... settling in, we returned our rental car as tomorrow we join Spanish Steps and start walking the Camino. We sauntered back to our hotel by way of the old town (every city has one!) and saw the Basilica de San Isidoro and the Catedral de Leon. They were pretty impressive, with huge stained glass windows and an incredible Church organ. We meandered through the narrow, cobblestone streets, where nearly everything was closed until 8:00, and got ...

... Then he moves on to being saved and says that now that you know what sin is you must avoid it and strive to be holy like God in heaven is holy. In chapter 2 Peter moves on to being a baby in Christ. He encourages the saints to "crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation."

Each month they have a different theme, this month is Marilyn Monroe. It is in English with Spanish subtitles. A ...

Once clear of the city limits I had a wonderful, almost silent Sunday stroll through the back country and some tiny villages. Possibly the most peaceful day yet. Mazarife looks like a lively, interesting place that's really geared to looking after the pilgrims.

... for the farmacy to open so i could buy some more compeed, then i walked 20 kms more. about halfway through the day my head just started pounding and i figured maybe i had downed too much coffee in la manana. by the time i found the refugio in the town of CARRION de los CONDES my head was pounding and i was freezing cold - i stumbled inside through some back way, took a shower, and crawled into my sleeping bag wearing all my clothes, and then my wintertime hat ...

... with a 35 lbs pack (including food and water), and T.cool, who weighed somewhere between 210 and 215 beforehand, is now down to 190. his pack and all the camera equipment weighs only about 45 lbs - luckily he seems to be something of a packhorse and this is no problem. we've also been doing some body measurements at irregular intervals and while my body is staying basically the same, Trae has lost 4 inches of belly and put on 2 or 3 of buttocks - his boots weigh about 8 lbs ...
