In Leon - 8/30

The Day: We spent the day relaxing and site seeing. First thing in the morning we toured the Cathedral and then returned to our hotel where we took a tour of it also. The hotel is an old monastery connected with the St Isidoro church with was built on part of some Roman ruins. The wall right outside our window was built in 100 BC! Betsy took advantage of being in a larger city and got her hair cut ... see pictures below :-) Tomorrow we are back on the trail as we tackle the last 300 kms to Santiago.

The People: We found our friend Mike from Canada, ran into Patrick once again and saw familiar faces of fellow pilgrims throughout the day. For the most part we spent the day on our own.
