Sept.22,2014 Tuesday from Sahagun to El Burgo Ranero 18km 12miles

This was my municipal Albergue in Sahagun, an old church converted to an Albergue. This was the old walls & arches. There were 2 long dining tables. Quite an architecture & really very nice.

Sept. 22,2014 Tuesday El Burgo Ranero

I passed this marker & it is a reminder of our mortality. We will never know when & where!

Sept. 22,2014 Tuesday From Sahagun to El Butgo de Ranero 19 km. 12 miles

Today was the best day for walking as my feet felt very good & no aches. I think my blisters are all healed & I did not develop a new one! WOW... I also feel that my feet & legs are stronger & I am walking faster. Along the way I saw these bread being delivered, maybe door to door? I remember when I was young in the Philippines, our bread was delivered every morning. I loved it as it was still warm. The simple life.

Sept.21,2014Sunday. From Ledigos to Sahagun

The walk today was shorter, only 17 km, but it was hot & no shade. Anyhow, Sahagun is the geographical center of the Camino. It is a very important town at the time a Spanish Cluny. I am staying at the municipal Albergue de Cluny, an old church that was converted to house pilgrims. Very interesting old walls of the church.

The Virgen de Preregrina , beautiful & her clothes were weaves & decorated & sewn in Seville.

Sept. 20,2014 On the way to Ledigos

Fiona bought these beautiful jewelry in Burhos. She was very excited to show them to me.

Sept. 20,2014 From Carrion de Los Condes to Ledigo 23 km 14 miles

As Usual I woke up as soon as I hear the first. Ri kale of plastic. So I was going to get ready in the dark but I couldn't find my head lamp. In short, I left at 8:00 AM when I finally located the lamp inside my big backpack. Anyhow, it was drizzling when I left so out with the poncho. I passed this sign & thought it is a good barometer as to how far I am still from my destination.

Sept.19,2014 Carrion de Los Condes

This man played an instrument he made, an arch harp-guitar, the guitar has 10 strings & the harp has 8 strings. It sounds so beautiful. This was the 7PM guitar concert I attended at the Church.
The 7:30 Pilgrim Mass started after the concert & the priest that had give me directions for the Albergue Espiritu Santo was the same, Fr. Julio Gomez.
