Villadangos del Paramo

We left Leon early, around 7:15am.  We thought the hotel would be serving breakfast at 7, but on Saturdays they serve at 8 - disappointed !!!  We tend to loose track of the days when you're on the Camino.  As we were traveling through the small town of San Miguel, we came upon an older man who offered us hospitality in front of his home.  He gave us water, fruit that he grew in his backyard, chairs to sit our tired bodies on, and a friendly smile.  He greeted every pilgrim along the way and offered them hospitality.  What a great gift he was to us today, it was just the thing we needed at that moment in our journey.  God always sends angels into our lives to guide us along the Way.

Last night we said farewell to two pilgrim friends from Australia, Robyn and Peter.  They began their pilgrimage in Burgos, and we are moving on ahead of them to Santiago.  They will be missed and we wish them a Buen Camino!!

Tomorrow we walk 16 miles to Astorga.  We are hoping the prediction of thunder storms doesn't materialize.  Until then, know of my thoughts and prayers for all of you.  Buen Camino !!!
