Lions, and Tigers, and No Beds! Oh My!

Let’s start with the positive: thank you God for providing two beds for us last night… at 7pm!

The day started out great. Last dialysis in Leon went smoothly and Sean enjoyed one last Kevin Bacon burger on the way out of town.

Our plan was to get to the edge of Leon as we have an extra day before Astorga. Alas, no albergues or hotels before leaving Leon. So we walked to the next village. Two hostels closed, one albergue closed, another one full, and the only hotel in town full!

So we went on to the next village where the first albergue we found was closed on Mondays! Wandered around A LOT before finally finding our night’s respite. We are now so far ahead of schedule it’s not even funny. Dialysis in Astorga is scheduled for Friday. We might dilly dally or simply get there early and explore a bit.

Oh, and Sean officially had his worst meal of the Camino. So he’s got that out of the way!

On the Camino, as in life, it pays to be flexible!Read more
