We stayed last night at the parador in Leon! Fancy accommodations for some peregrinos but such a cool building we couldn't pass it up. It used to be a hospital for pilgrims and monks used to live here at some point as well. The building was then converted to a hotel.
Yesterday we explored Leon! Taylor found a walking stick he likes and a knife to carve into the stick some and we all got our shells for our backpack - the symbol of the Camino. Today we will be following yellow arrows and shells 13 miles to our next stop!
Met up with a cool peregrino last night named Tomas. He's from Ireland and was sharing some advice and funny stories.
Time to head out after enjoying a beautiful breakfast spread. Leaving a little later today than we normally will but couldn't miss out on the breakfast as it was included in our stay!
Julia, Bob & Taylor,
