5 degrees celsius in Leon today


Last night we spent an hour in the convent listening to the Vespars, nuns singing and giving Mass, quite an experience! Amazing, angelic voices filled the small church, we were outsiders, observers and blessed to have the opportunity to experience it. Today, we left early and were able to see the cathedral again as the sun threw wonderful light on it's east side facade and intricate stainglass windows. It is 5 degrees celsius and quite cold but the cold doesn't feel as cold as we probably look as long as our feet keep moving and the wind stays to our back. (which is never does, it either blows right at you or tries to throw you sideways.) The region here can be unpredictable especially as we leave here and move on into the mountainous regions of Galicia. As we leave this big city, I am actually looking forward to the quiteness of the countryside. I am not sure when we will find internet access again so if you don't hear from us in a few days we are probably snug in our bunk beds somewhere in some place land, or still well, walking.
