Rest day in León

We had a good rest day in León. We caught up with friends, did a little resupply and failed at getting more cash. It is very risky putting your ATM card into a machine here as it may not come back. This happen to a friend and she had to wait in the town until the bank opened to get her card back. The bank was closed for two days! 🥴

We stayed in a quirky hostel with a great view of a fountain located on a major roundabout. Yesterday there was a major festival in town that brought people from every region within proximity of Leon. The parade lasted forever with each region marching behind a giant flag of their providence. The parade ended at the cathedral where all flags were left around the perimeter of the cathedral. We watched most of the parade from the streets but when it was never-ending, we realized we could watch it from the window of our hostel since they paraded right past the fountain. It seems every time we are in a major city, it is during a festival.

We didn't think we were interested in touring yet another cathedral but are so glad we toured the cathedral in Leon. The stained glass in this particular cathedral is absolutely amazing.

Today we are off to Villavante, hope to have more photos and updates tonight.Read more
