19mi Villadangos to Astorga

Another incredible day! Made some new friends, ran into old friends, and there was a fabulous festival going on in Astorga. I walked in the morning with Davide 🇮🇹 we prayed the rosary together in English and Italian and sang Phantom of the Opera 🎭😂. We came across Leon 🇪🇸 who played his 3d printed tin whistle for us. Then we reached paradise at a little pellegrino oasis in the middle of the desert. The girl volunteering lives in old town and we stayed for a long time playing guitar and feasting ❤️. Dyna was there and we walked the rest of the way with a new climbing friend Giacomo 🇮🇹 and a new kindred spirit Lisa 🇩🇪. In Astorga we found Marco, Valentina, Fabio, and Luca 🇮🇹. It was quite a reunion 💕. I went to mass with Davide and met Brother Luca 🇩🇪. I have heard stories of this famous Camino monk and was so excited to meet him! We all cooked dinner together and had beautiful conversation. Goodnight friends (buona notte), my heart is full 🥰.Read more
