Day 23: León- Manzarife

The body was rested today and the 21kms felt easy! I actually did a workout once I got to albergue.

I ran into my friends Pilar and Marco again, who I have seen on and off the last few days. They are an absolutely lovely Spanish and French couple, who always are excited to chat. I think I understand 20% of conversations and that is okay. You get more and more used to just being in conversations of Spanish Nad Fench were you don't know at all whats happening, and that's alright. When we're speaking English then its happening to the others.

Today I took the scenic route and enjoyed a bit of solitude, as a lot of people took different routes today. After the rosary for Brigid Aunty Marg called me which was very nice, and we had a good chat about life and the Camino.

I've seen 4 spiders today, in Spain! There are cobwebs everywhere in the sky and blowing in the wind, gives fairly creepy vibes to this tiny town. For dinner i cooked up a pancetta pesto pasta, and if you had seen the size of the store I had to work with, I was pretty happy with this result.

I had dinner with Florence, Anne-Cécile and Inés and played some cards afterwards which was hilarious. "Quems" or "Kemps", not 100% what we were all saying, but it was a lot of fun and my competitive side really came out, at odds with the relaxation of the Camino! Anne-Cécile was very good, always guessing Inés and my signals and I never guessed hers once. A really nice night.Baca lagi
