Day 30. Rest day in Leon

Our rest day has been very pleasant. Slept til 0730 and then went out for breakfast. A mango smoothie for me and Cafe con leche and expresso for Steve. Found some yogurt and glazed donuts. They were huge and so yummy! Next was going through the Cathedral of Leon. It was started in the 13 century and it took 50 years to complete. It is of Gothic style and is known for its thin walls and use of stainglass windows. The church of lights. Also went to their museum.
Ran into our Romanian friend, Mati. He was outside the grocery store. He had bought new shoes yesterday and ended up walking 40 km or 25 miles. Then ran into Peter (New Zealand) having coffee with a couple from Washington State (John and Diane). We tried to get in for a massage but they were booked. That sure would have been nice.
We had a very nice nap and went out for lunch. Same as yesterday. Steve really liked it but I think we are done with pizza for a while. On the way back, we ran into Terry (Canada) just arriving trying to find her place for the night.
Amazing how you keep running into people even in a large city. Tomorrow we will be heading out early. I have soaked my foot in epsom salts and will get them ready tonight for tomorrow. We will be heading to San Martin tomorrow. Today I am grateful for the rest, grateful for visits with friends and grateful to be hereRead more
