Albergue La Cuesta León

Hola a todos de nuevo. Esta vez sin viajar, desde casa.

Hacía tiempo que quería presentaros mi ciudad de acogida, León, donde vine hace ya más de año y medio.

Y qué mejor ocasión que aprovechar una de las tremendas nevadas que caen por estos lares (ya, ya lo sé, los que viváis en el Medio Oeste americano o en Centroeuropa, os s...

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 ni...

Apenas hace una semana que volví del maravilloso viaje, y prácticamente ya no me acuerdo, ¡qué inmersión en la rutina!

Ayer, el Presidente del Gobierno de España, José-Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, y la Ministra de Igualdad, Bibiana Aído, inauguraron oficialmente la fábrica de obleas de silicio para la industria fotovoltaica para la que trab...

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:

I met a group of for Spaniards (should I refer to them as Catalans?) going with the bikes as well, so we went together a little, they were nice.

Austrian poem of great social and political importance: So geht man im Leben der eine geht nach Santiago der andere geht nicht nach Santiago ... Da dap da dap da da dada da! Der eine pilgert los von St. Jean Der andere fangt gleich gar nicht an Der eine geht 800 Kilometer nach Santiago Der andere fliegt mit dem Flieger und wor donn a do So ist d...

It´s been a few days and so much has happened....I think I´m going to have to be more abbreviated with my journal entries, so I can fit everything in! On our last day in Gijon, we got up early (for us) and semi-enjoyed the complimentary continental breakfast included with our hotel stay. The reason I say "semi" is because of the two rough-lookin...

So this week was another pretty normal week. Nothing much exciting happening. I had another dictation in the sixth grade class and this time I only missed one! I was pretty proud of that! I got an email saying that a professor is going to come observe me sometime next week. I don't know when so that could be a little tricky. I have an appointmen...

Today was pretty normal during the morning. I went to my classes as usual, and even got to help out a little in the English class (boy is that class wild!) After class I went and ate lunch and was finally able to do a little bit on the internet. I also had my first Spanish class. It was ok. There are only 6 other students in the class. One girl ...

Well I'm back in full Camino mode again, fully recovered from that horrible tummy thing. Asking around it turns out at least half a dozen others were similarly affected at about the same time. Some sissies took the bus while other, hard core types carried on in spite of it! Sensible types like me just stayed put for a day. Anyway, when I left Te...

well, its 700 am, and i just got up. the roosters are crying to let jeff and i know its time to move, time to walk 25 km, time to look out at the meseta, time to start our day. Last night we arrived very a late in a pueblo that was very nearly not open, and had we arrived thirty minutes later, i think we would have gone without food last night b...
