CDS22: León to San Martín del Camino

This morning out of León was beautiful. There’s something about walking through big cities with empty streets that just seem beautiful (when you know they’re not abandoned… Creepy).

We passed by cathedrals and buildings with just the most amazing architecture. If I do the Camino again, I think I would like to explore the history of each town more, especially the bigger ones and understand what I am looking at more.

I braided my hair differently today and loved it. I feel like you all needed to know that. It really wasn’t anything special, but I felt good! Haha! It’s the small luxuries that make you feel good out here on the Camino. A bathroom with soap, showers you don’t have to hold down to run, a place to dry your wet hands, wool blankets on beds, ANDNICELYBRAIDEDHAIR.

We walked past a lot of houses built under? Into? the ground, which we haven’t seen much of until today. We walked and walked and walked and it was again SO HOT. Who knew I would miss the rain so much 😭😭.

We pushed a little farther ahead just to balance out tomorrow again and stopped at the cutest albergue! It had a pool! And hammocks. And baby chickens. And ice cream! Well, most places have ice cream, but after a hot day it was very much needed! We hung around, relaxed, showered and had yummy pizza for dinner in these cure little pizza boards that I didn’t take a picture of because I was too busy stuffing my face.
