Day 37: Reached the Knight Templers castle in safety!

Lovely day today! 
Sunshine and warmer. 

The river through Ponferrada

I am taking today to sightseeing, do laundry and relax. There is a huge Knight Templer Castle here as well as a number of beautiful churches, so I will have a great day… And no rain! 

A young lady in my Albergue from New Zealand woke up with a message from her mom that her dad had a stroke and is in the hospital. Prayers!

Early books from the Knight Templers





[later] I spent over 2 hours in the Knight Templers castle and am sending some pictures as well as the Virgen de la Encina cathedral.
