Greetings from Villadongs del Paramor


Well we´ve left lovely Leon after a short but pleasant stay. A few old faces in the albergue eg Crazy Polish Guy, he´s got one setting, full on -he likes his booze and to party. He gets a skin full every night and likes to sing; his favourite is AC/DC and enjoyes belting out Highway to Hell which I´m not sure is the appropriate song for the Camino de Santiago! (or maybe it is). Passed Finnish Angel today walking by herself, the group around Liverpool boy has fragmented and no one knows where he is (probably see him down the track).
There will be no more large towns before Santiago, tommorrow we pass through historic Astorga (named after Emperor Augustus), the first written records are from about 68AD. The weather has been cool the last couple of days but we´ve avoided the rainstorms hitting the south (so far no rain, touch wood). We now start heading away from freeways into the mountains which we can see ahead of us.
This computer is very slow and ancient, so we´ll waite to download photo´s (I´ve only downloaded some of mine, we´ll do some of Rays next so that you can see some of me!!).
GREETINGS TO MIKE, HOPE YOU HAD A GREAT BIRTHDAY-HAVE ONE FOR ME!!
