Lounging in Leon

Lounging in Leon
It was not quite the day we had expected in Leon, but since the whole town seems to be set up for a long weekend maybe there was more to be seen over that time.  That said the Three Amigos hit the road out of town on the morrow wit a bus ride to the edge of the 'burbs to avoid 20 km over cement and asphalt.
We took a tour of the Cathedral and around the center of town.  There is a picture of me giving therapy to a statue, one of John on a park bench with Gaudi and the foot print of a Roman soldier.  These prints are to be found as markers bordering the Roman encampment the was the beginning of the city of Leon.
We had a forgettable supper in a local brewpub.   Their beer was cloudy-not a good sign.-  The service was slow; and the food was not up to par.  Maybe we were just.too homesick, none of us
could face the thought of another pilgrim meal so we felt a burger was in order.  Usually Spanish
hambergesas are very good, but this one wasn't.
Anyway tomorrow is another day.  Missing my Snuggy and hope you got the stove issues resolved.

Oct. 12 - Action on the Streets of Leon - There was some street action, but things were just ramping up when our travelers had to depart.
Oct. 12 - Roman Foot Prints in Leon - Foot prints of Romans survived the passage of time. These prints are used to indicate the original Roman encampment, a novel idea.
