Carrion de los Condes

Today we hit the 230 mile mark, and are nearly half way through the Camino. We're feeling strong, eating like horses, and although our feet are aching at the end of our walk each day, they are fine and ready to go in the morning! Still seeing interesting sites along the way: a random 20 foot long hand and arm laying in front of a house; door knockers shaped like hands on many doors; and the medival churches that tell dark stories. In Carrion, many of the carvings on the churches are missing their heads. In addition, for a period of time, the Moors demanded 100 Christian maidens be relinquished to them each year. No stories are told about what the Christians did to the Moors...hmmm. So much blood shed in the name of religion. Better get some sleep- love to you all.Read more
