It´s me again!!

To my surprise their is a computer at the Alberque-unable to do pics though. Today was a 5 mile hike out of the beautiful city of Leon (I could have stayed longer) and through an industrial zone. I am at La Virgen del Camino.
I am extremely happy to report that my problem ¨B¨ is sooooo much better. I took my time and stopped at 3 cafes for cafe con leche or tea :) No familiar faces yet, taking a day off and traveling 30 miles by train yesterday have put me in with another group of pilgrims. The weather is gorgeous- sun,light breeze and temps in the 50´s !!
Only 22 more days of walking to Santiago. I am enjoying each and every day, even the ones that don´t have perfect weather, lots of ups and downs, no cafes for miles and the occasional one where I say to myself: ¨Why are you here when you could be in your comfortable home with family and all the creature comforts that surround you ?¨ I know for sure I will kiss my washer and dryer- after I hug and kiss George and the kids and grandkids. Cary, Sage and Ty will be there waiting for me too!! We will celebrate !!!!

P.S. I had a moment of weakness in Leon I must share with you. To those of you who have seen the movie ¨The Way¨, the Parador they all stay in (the American treats everyone :) is in Leon and on the Camino. This morning as I past it ,I stopped to take a picture and out walk a couple who were obviously pilgrims/a backpack on and walking sticks in hand. I could stay there- it would probably cost 200-300$ / OR I could have the contents of my pack (the 15lbs. I don´t need when I´m walking) transported for the next 22 days of walking for the same amount!!!
Hmmmmm I think I choose to lighten-my-load and walk with a big smile on my face :) :) :)
LA DOLCE VITA !!
Hope this finds everyone happy and healthy- if not don´t tell me about it until I get home - I don´t want to worry,
Love, Francesca
