Making new friends, discovering beauty in detail and in the old, and surprised by an unexpected dinner made up this day.
El Camino De Santiago
Castrojeriz to Fromista
Longer day began with another beautiful sunrise, a steep climb onto a meseta, then a sharp decline into a valley of farmland and waterways.
El Camino De Santiago
Fromista to Carrio de Los Condes
Wonderful day with friends, pleasant walking, a great apartment, home cooking, wine, chocolate, and a good night’s sleep.

Carrion de Los Condes to Terradillos
Passing the halfway point, we spent this long, hot day with friends from Australia and celebrating their team’s championship!
El Camino De Santiago
Terradillos to Bercanios
Another hot day, but a more shady path, meeting new friends, old churches, and enjoying observing a local domino’s and card game.
El Camino De Santiago
Bercianos to Mansilla de las Mules
Provided with a beautiful, shady path, we had an easy walk, but for some strange reason I developed shin splints in one leg. But a great dinner and good rest helped!
El Camino De Santiago
Mansilla de las Mulas to Leon
Love Leon! Enjoyed a great dinner, catching up with friends who all seem to be here at the same time, and Leon is preparing for festival!
El Camino De Santiago
Day in Leon
Church and museum tour, a sneak peek at festival preparation, pizza for lunch, cathedral tour, then back to the festival!
El Camino De Santiago
Leon to San Martin del Camino
Dale walked while I cabbed due to my shin splints, and our decision to give them one more rest day. It seems festival is going on in other towns.

San Martin del Camino to Astorga
Working our way back to the hills was a delight, as was walking some of that way with our friend, Beverly. A great hotel, dinner, and rest!
