Back in touch
14 Mei 2018, Sepanyol ⋅ ☀️ 15 °C
Since leaving Burgos, we’ve climbed the Meseta, the high plain that stretches from Burgos to Leon. Wide open spaces, remote old Camino towns, and very little communication available. The Meseta was the breadbasket of the Roman Empire, and we’ve passed miles of wheat and barley fields under a big blue sky.

We met our first Spanish cowboy and spent a night in the romantic town of Castrojeriz. The wind beat us up for several days, and the temp was 32 degrees when we left Castrojeriz Sunday morning.

We spent Sunday night in Laurie’s favorite albergue in Boadilla de Camino, sleeping up in the old barn loft!

Looks like warmer weather coming, and still we’ve dodged the rain. On Wednesday we’ll pass the halfway point of the Camino from St. Jean to Santiago.

A belated Happy Mother’s Day to all you moms!Baca lagi

The Roman Road
15 Mei 2018, Sepanyol ⋅ ☀️ 15 °C
This was our view today, for 14 miles. Looks pretty monotonous, right? Until you realize ... we were walking part of the original Roman road through Spain, still intact after 2000 years (with just a new gravel covering). The Romans transported an estimated 100,000 tons of rock just to build the substrata of this road through what were wetlands at the time. And none of the rock was from local sources...

Meanwhile, the wheat and barley fields we passed by have been farmed since the Romans’ time. Not such a boring walk after all (though we were happy to reach the little village of Calzadilla, and our hostal!).

The snowy mountains to our north made us feel we were in Switzerland. But for the first time we walked in shorts and short sleeves.Baca lagi

Leon
19 Mei 2018, Sepanyol ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C
Tonight and tomorrow we will stay in Leon, resting up for the last 200 miles. We’ll devote tomorrow to the magnificent Gothic Cathedral.

The past few days have been easy walks with few climbs. We passed the halfway point at Sahagun, where we celebrated with KitKats!

Each church steeple, and other high places, seems to have a resident stork. We can see the little ones in the nests and we often hear the parents clacking over their babies.

We also passed a boot graveyard today, out in the middle of nowhere.

We still see some of the same folks we’ve been walking with for several weeks, including a young photographer for the Miami Dolphins who’s here on special assignment.

And we’ve eaten many of the French bread sandwiches, called bocadillos, a staple of the pilgrim diet, along with fried eggs and Spanish tortilla (a potato, egg and cheese pie).Baca lagi

How we navigate
19 Mei 2018, Sepanyol ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C
How do you find your way across 500 miles of Spain, through villages, fields and cities? You pay attention and look for these —

(Or you look for other pilgrims who seem to know where they’re going).

Leon
20 Mei 2018, Sepanyol ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C
We’re enjoying our rest day in Leon, and this siesta thing is pretty nice! Our hotel is just outside the Cathedral, across the street from a hospital (good location?!).

Leon Cathedral is so different from Burgos Cathedral, but beautiful in its own way. Burgos had more intimate spaces, while Leon is vast, airy, and alive with what seem like acres of stained glass.

It was built in the 13th century and by the 1850s it was falling apart; sections of the vaulted roof collapsed. Repair work took 50 years, and all of the stained glass windows had to be removed, stored in boxes, and then replaced.

These pics really don’t do it justice, but hope you enjoy them.Baca lagi

Cruz de Ferro, the Iron Cross
24 Mei 2018, Sepanyol ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C
Today we climbed to the highest point on the Camino, Monte Irago, and the Iron Cross. The Cross was placed there in the 11 th century by a Catholic abbot to mark the way for pilgrims traveling to Santiago. Pilgrims often bring a stone or some remembrance to leave at the Cross, or to represent a burden they wish to leave behind.

It was a tough climb up, but a tougher climb down (to be continued...)Baca lagi

Pengembara Leaving and Letting go of these heavy burdens... may they rest at the Cruz de Ferro allowing us to find peace. Thank you Laurie!
