• Leon - Rest Dayz 1 of 3

    Jun 3–6, 2024 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C

    Omg!!!!

    Need rest.
    Need rest.

    Once I arrived in Sahagun, I waved the white flag!

    The Next morning in Sahagún we walked to the train station and We rode the train to Leon. My body thanked me a million times.

    It wasn’t in our schedule to have a rest day let alone three rest days but I needed it. The heat was exhausting and dehydrating.

    My ankle swollen and skin tight. Yup time to elevate for more than a couple hours.

    We had no previous accommodations booked for Leon.

    Amy found us a cute little apartment to rent. Yasss!💜💜

    When we arrived to Leon for breakfast I ate some tapas (snails & hard boiled eggs with verde sauce) and drank wine and beer while we waited for our apartment to be available.

    Jamon Serrano is usually very good (pork). They had beef sausage and it didn’t do it for me. It has a completely different flavor and texture than pork sausage. The green peppers are very good they use sea salt big chunks to flavor the peppers.

    Once in our apartment,
    I slept for hours like a little kid.

    While
    In Leon we ran into other Camino friends that were trickling into Leon and it was really nice seeing them and getting updates on their toes!!🤣🤣 Some folk went to the editorial and other got a massage.

    I went to get a Thai massage and went to
    The Cathedral León. They have awesome stained glass . I will post cathedral pictures pt 3.
