My bed for tonight is in La Virgen del Camino in the Albergue D. Antonino y Dna. Cinia:

Arrived here around 10:30 due to the kindness of a young French Quebec couple who let me walk with them & showed me a shortcut to connect with the Camino in Leon! After waiting while chatting with Ruy from ME until noon when the door opened, checked in, 'made' bed & shared a washer load w/Ruy. Then Ruy & I walked to center of town & had a nice lunch - once again forgot to photo!! We were able to watch the Sunday promenade along the block-long street that was closed to traffic - little girls in frilly dresses & elegant matronly senoras! Found a bakery open for chocolate croissant for tomorrow's breakfast. Ruy said he would share the sausage he bought at Leon's festival yesterday for dinner so we helped ourselves to the bread on table @ cafe!!! Then we investigated the towering bell tower & were very surprised at how lovely the church was on the inside:

Not quite like the other churches I've shown!

These figures were on a monk's bldg. Enough for now - getting a bit chilly setting outside in the shade. Time to put on leggings & fleece! I bought a sleeping bag in Carrion as had two nights without blankets being available & it is too chilly now for just the bag liner!! Plus it is nice to have window open so room doesn't get so stuffy & smelly...tonight's room had 20 bunks - I think more women than men...separate bathrooms (toilets & showers) in this place. European men have no bashfulness of walking around in their Speedo-like undies - still somewhat shocking for this small town girl!!!
