I spent quite a while in Leon on my way out yesterday and then another hour in a wonderful church in Valverde de laVergin.

| The front of the church. Statues of Saints |

| Church in VillardeVirgen |
 |
| In the church with homage to Mexico! |
So I walked from 8am until a little after 5pm, around 20 km. My feet were screaming!!
I am in a small village called Villarde Mazarife and planning to go halfway to Astorga today, around 15akm.

| Entrance to my tonight’s town |
The churches continue to fill me with awe and the religious aspects of the Camino fill me with humbleness and gratitude. It has been an amazing journey with blessings I could never have imagined.
I heard yesterday that pilgrims are coming into Santiago at the rate of 1500/day!!
Unbelievable!!

So far I have been able to get a bed every day. Many are booking ahead, which I refuse to do, even if I did have a phone!
