Day 37 - 24.4 Kilometres

Leon to San Martino del Camino

Today is our legal anniversary. 3 years married and no papers filed yet! We´ll see how the rest of trip goes...

We don´t really celebrate this one, favouring instead the August anniversary which also coincides with when we started dating, so you have a month-long reprieve before the mushy post.

Another day along the highway. It started out well, though, with a sunrise over the Leon cathedral, a great white gothic affair to rival anything in France or England. It has astounding stained glass too, which we saw yesterday with the evening light streaming in.

Arrived in San Martino, where luxury of luxuries, the Albergue also offers private rooms. Privacy is at a premium on the Camino, and I find that perhaps the most difficult part of the whole affair. I´m OK with sleeping with 50 people in a room. I am not OK with waking up with 50 people. It is always loud and chaotic, with butts bumping and packs being shuffled. And while I am occasionally a fan of chaos, I am NOT a fan of chaos at 5:30AM. So, we have our own room for tonight, and I am thrilled.

Happy "legal" Anniversary anyway. It sounds like the best gift you could have gotten was to have your own space that day for a change.
Nicky sends his love. Love, Tante
