Mansillas de las Mulas to Leon


Cathedral in Leon

A protest in Leon. I had my earplugs in my jacket pocket, so I stuck those in my ears, and it was still too loud, with horns and loud gun shots.



The morning photo--oops! Forgot to take it that morning. After this we had an amazing meal at a L'Union, a vegetarian restaurant. We both were extremely satisfied with our meals there. 

We had supper at an Indian restaurant with ten or so other pilgrims who were also looking for some different food. We met four pilgrims that night who we had never met before: a woman and her mother from Greenland, M from Denmark, and Jenny from Germany. Our albergue had a closing time of 9:30 (this was a Friday night, in a city--eek!), and we got our food at about 9. We gobbled it down, then rushed back to the albergue...and of course they didn't close the doors until after 10 pm.
