After 45 degrees, heavy rain, and blustry wind we decided to find some prettier weather. We took a taxi to Fromista then a bus to Palencia and then a train to Leon! I love Leon! First thing we did when we got here was walk past their magnificient cathedral. Next we checked into the alberque. The rooms are separated into men, women and married. I thought that was funny. They had a picture on the co-ed bathroom that had a stickfigure man + sitckfigure women = stickfirugre child with a lollypop.
After the albergue we found one of my favorite places in Leon: McDonalds! Nothing like a good old fashioned burger to make you feel at home. After that we went to the albergue and washed clothes..... In a machine and with soap! What a luxury! Later we went to a vesper service and then to mass. After that we went to sleep early.
We got a hotel to get a break from the snorring in the albergue and are going to spend the night in Leon. After we get all of our pictures uploaded (which takes a long while) we are going to go to the two cathedrials in Leon and then go to the castle. I think lunch or dinner may be at Burger King. The Spaniards are scandalized.
Everyone should check out the pictures that we posted on my profile today!
a run for the border for dinner? sounds like your childhood.....or heaven.
