I was so tired when I arrived and my backpack so heavy. But found out at the airport that I could catch the bus to Leon and would be there in 4.5 hours. Waiting for the bus was a most opportune connection – Kevin from Toronto he majored in Languages and was fluent in Spanish. I sleep the entire trip to Leon and together we found a place in the center of town to sleep and eat. The Refugio was full but they had a couple of private rooms available at @20 E. We explored the town ate our first pilgrim meal and retired early. Again I slept like a rock but woke up with leg cramps and that is why I am writing this at 4:00 am. I will go back to sleep and get up for breakfast at 6:00 am. I will get another days rest and start my walking on Saturday at 5:30 or 6:00 am. Kevin is starting today since he only has 2 weeks. He plans on walking 15 to 18 miles per day. Hope to see him down the road. H was a God send. I’ll write more tomorrow keep sending me your prayers and thoughts it really helps
God bless. Frank
I’m following you every day Frank. Make your pace comfortable and let God tell you when to start and stop.
I have walked over 5 miles today just getting to the bus and finding the hostel. Tomorrow I start and I plan to make it a short one. I’m learning how to fit in the hostel. Good not great tonight but I know I need the energy. Need lots of water it is hot during the afternoon and no A/C. Thanks for your support
Regards. Frank
Hello Frank,
I am so proud of you. Remember this is your journey. Take it slow and steady! Drink LOTS of water.
One step at a time. Stop when your body says it’s tired.
Praying every step is blessed before you take it.
