When we got into the town of Leon it was a good day with some sun and a good deal of clouds. We sat and had a drink while we watched the people go by for a good long time, having a little snack as well. We said hello to many pilgrims who also walked by. Our hotel is near the Leon Cathedral and we will spend some time in the church tomorrow. We did not go in today I think because we thought it would be good do see the church on a sunny day and becasue jess has her birthday tomorrow.
Leon Cathedral is a gothic structure well known for its stained glass. I am hopeful that tomorrow will have a good bit of sun so that we can enjoy the light in the church. We shall see. One thing I have learned again on the Camino is that you cannot plan to far in advance. But I also know that the Camino provides. yesterday Jess was feeling poorly and just when her energy was kind of low we met a pilgrim who we knew and who walked the rest of the way into the town with us, taking Jess´s mind off of her poor feelings. today we did the same for another pilgrim who had misjudged the distance she had to travel and was sitting beside the road no knowing where to go. she is dutch and was very happy to walk into the town with us. the way, the Camino, life, provides, we just do not always see how life provides for us because we are too busy to notice.
Have a good rest of your day,
Michael
