June 4
We started with cafe con leche and sweet rolls at about 8:00... so probably walking about 8:30. We began to see what seems like suburbs and then could begin to see Leon in the distance. Jim reiterated that he is fine but going slowly so I could feel free to move forward... I hung with him as he seems intent on making Santiago about the same day as I do, and he has foot issues much more than I... but he mentioned it again so I began to think he would prefer to be alone so I headed out.
I walked into and through León... very nice city with all of the trappings of a European city... history, culture, beauty, and small busy streets... but it got to me... I am here on the Camino for some alone time and solace... so I did not spend much time in Leon.
I am staying in a suburb not far away, but intend to put some distance in tomorrow. I broke over the 300 km left today... I think I am at 298 (178 miles)... Another day blessed by my Father... I hope to be on the road tomorrow by 7:30.
I just ate another sandwich with a fork and knife... not my style, but ‘when in Spain...’
My best to all of you who have been checking in... regards to you all.
Beautiful city but glad you hopefully got resupplied & moved on! As when you started, continue to keep all you senses open to be filled each day with His plan for you. Walk on....
