Well, we are back here to restart the second half of the Camino. Does that make it Camino day 2.0? Actually, I guess since this our fourth ‘go’ at various parts of the Camino since Liz first turned us on to it some dozen years ago, does it make it day 4.0? And since we don’t start walking until tomorrow, and programmers start counting at zero, does that make tomorrow 4.0?
The breakfast room at the hotel this morning was a mob scene with about 200 members of an oriental tour group loading up like there was due to be a famine announced in five minutes. As we were checking out an hour later it was the same scene with a European school group of a couple hundred more. The servers could hardly keep up with the empty plates.
We caught the early train to Leon (I’m giving up on the Spanish accented letters, as this tablet keyboard doesn’t have them readily). I continue to be impressed by the Spanish trains – maybe by comparison to the Canadian ones. Then a second train BACK to Sahagun, along both the way we had come, and the Camino. It turned to rain for the trip, showing wet pilgrims, but cleared in time to walk to our hotel.
After lunch we walked into town, and Vic thinks it is far nicer than I described it last year. I still think it is a decaying, dreary town.
So, tomorrow we are off. Hope the legs hold together.
