episode #22 ipilgrim podcast -- Leon

Hey fellow pilgrims,

I’m sitting in an Albergue kitchen in Leon, Spain. This actually wasn’t my plan. My original plan had me in Astorga but as I realized that the camino had other plans for me. At first, I was a little resistant to us staying an extra day in Leon. I miss walking and big cities tend to be more expensive because of the amazing choice of bars and restaurants.

Another reason we stayed in Leon is a strange series of nights that seem to involve a lot bar crawls. The pilgrims sometimes joke that the camino can turn into a “wine tour” instead of a pilgrimage. As it turned out, I ended up at an Irish pub in the Plaza Mayor at 3 am. By the time all of us woke up, packed and had brunch (by that time) it was almost 1 pm and a bit too late in the day to walk my planned 24 kilometers.

Now, I realize that this break has given me a much-needed moment of quiet and introspection. And as luck would have it, I’ve been given a chance to work on my podcast.  In fact, if I have time, I will be posting two episodes today.

Buen Camino,
Deborah
