Day 19 - Reliegos to Leon

Today will be 25 km to Leon - my favourite city on the Camino!!

We left at 7:30 am and it was a bit of a chillier morning. I had an odd dream about Bodhi and woke up to a voice (his voice) saying clear as day, "Kimmie, don't leave Leon without me." He was sleeping across the room so it was a jarring experience. I told Dan about it and I insisted we wait for him at the next open cafe in town. Once he joined us, we shared the dream with him and he agreed to stick with us to Leon since he didn't take such things lightly. He recalled knowing someone who had a dream about their parents before they left for a trip to Mount Everest. He insisted his parents shouldn't go on the trip due to a strong sense of foreboding in his dream. The parents went anyways and died there. Bodhi felt they should've never ignored their son's vision.

We walked at quite a quick pace today and got into Leon around 1:30 pm even with some longer breaks so we chilled on a patio with drinks and tapas waiting for our 3 pm check-in.

For dinner, we went to a popular restaurant and ordered lamb and seafood and dessert. It was quite delicious.

We saw some familiar pilgrim's at the table next to us on arrival and asked them to join us for a group picture after dinner which they happily obliged.Read more
