As I walked into Leon or more like ran into Leon expecting not have any space for Fern in I in a albergue, due to the talk of other pilgrims saying they couldn’t get a place to stay as well. As we got into the city it was beautiful to see the great city of Leon and the cathedral in the middle of the city. As we got to the monastery we saw so many familiar faces that we haven’t seen in a while. One of those faces was Alex the English man who worked on cleaning Nuclear waste. He ran into us and invited us to a beer and dinner for a going away party for a mutual friend Jen who is a German lady who is a extremely nice person that we would love to go to this going away party. I thought to myself for a while about these people that invite me to spend time with them and why they invite me to these places. It made me feel good that they would include me into dinner we such intimacy. It was time to go to dinner and as we walked to the bar the city was coming to life it was not just young people coming out but kids, families, geezers, and pilgrims. We got to the bar and saw Alex and Jen and about 4 other pilgrims that we also knew. As we sat there talking about the crazy different experiences that we have had on the Camino so far a slew of old French ladies came by to see of Jen talked to us that they had walked 750K in France and walk 200K a year on the Frances. One of the lady’s was around 80 years old and had told us when she was young she had been on the French nation team for parachute jumps and had done more than 500 jumps in her life. It was beautiful to meet such unique and amazing people on the Camino and am I excited to meet more.
