Sahagun

We left early from our hostel for our 13 mile walk to Sahagun.  It was on this journey that we crossed the boarder into the Province of Leon, the wealthiest and most populous province on the Camino.  Again, it was a day filled with quiet walking.  We came into a small village where we stopped to have an egg and potato tortilla.  While there we noticed they had peanut butter!!!  What a treat!!  We had the owner make Randy and I a peanut and jelly sandwich to take for the journey.  What a pleasant surprise and treat for us.  The owner of the establishment was very pleasant and helpful.  While leaving the establishment, we noticed entrances to homes that were built into a hill, keeping the temperature cool in the summer and warm in the winter.  Before entering Sahagun, be came upon the hermitage of Our Lady of the Bridge, once an important sanctuary for pilgrims in the 12 century.  Tomorrow we have an 11 mile walk to El Burgos Ranero.  Thursday we will be in Leon and have a days rest there.  Buen Camino !!
