Day 26- Leon to Astorga via Bus

I am getting excited about meeting Heather and Rebecca in Sarria. I honestly didn’t think we would ever share even a part of the Camino. To share the wine and food together in Santiago and Porto will be so much fun.

Some of our Camino family road the bus With us partway to start Camino late. Made me sad to say goodbye to Björn from Germany. He is such a positive young guy who always greets me with such sincere caring.

Every time I see a cyclist go by I think of how much Randy would enjoy the Camino.
This is part of me now. My life is in here.
We had the most beautiful surprise when we arrived in Astorga….my Danish sister, Cecillia! We heard a cry from across the plaza and there she was !!! It has been weeks since we have seen each other.
The Gaudi Museum. This building was designed by him and houses some amazing art pieces. But the real treasure is seeing the architecture.

We almost didn’t make it back to the albergue before it closed! We were having such a great time with some women Camino friends that the time flew. Eva and I had our evening meal with two fellow American from New York (Rebecca) and Dotty from Annapolis, an abdominal surgeon from Germany, Helena, (who is riding a unicycle on the Camino, and our Danish midwife friend, Cecillia, who said goodbye to us this afternoon and then came back to stay in Astorga with us so that we could walk together on more day. 🥰

I am a woman of age reinventing myself in my 70’s. I owned a restaurant for 36 years, was a high school CTE instructor in Culinary Arts, and I’m now looking for my next chapter in life. I am restless. I do know that hiking, travel, and sharing my love of food and wine will play a part in my new adventures.
