This morning we really put in a strong effort to get out early. It turned out to be at 7:20, which for us is really good. It was a really quick 12k walk into church.
The LDS church in Leon is actually right on the Camino and very close to our albergue. We just walked straight to church and got dressed when we got there.
The branch in Leon is great. Everyone was so nice, and they had a great mix of Spanish and Latino members. I went to primary with River. It’s really becoming clear that she hasn’t been spending much time with other kids her age. She’s got a lot of catching up to do when we get home.
We haven’t been in an official sacrament meeting since Rome. That was on March 24. It was just so great to be back with the saints.
The rest of the day was spent just resting. 12k feels like practically nothing now. We are strong, but soon we will be back in the mountains, and that will be tough. We’ve got about two weeks of hiking from León, but most of it will be in the mountains. It’s going to be a big challenge, but we are all itching for home. So we are going to give it all we’ve got.
Oh, and I went this evening and took some golden hour shots of the cathedral. I think they will turn out OK, but I’m also looking forward to the early morning and hoping I can get some pictures then as well.
