Carrión

An easy walking day with just flat 'senda' pathways to follow.
Beautiful weather for walking, warm and sunny with just a bit of
cooling breeze.

The company I've managed to collect since Burgos are all departing
tomorrow for other parts. Most using buses to Leon to save time, some
heading home.

It is sad to loose travelling companions but inevitable on such a
journey.

At this stage, many are leaving the Camino as their time runs out.
Whole groups of European peregrinos are just abruptly stopping for the
year. So far it has been crowded but things may quieten down.

Today in Carrion we have found most restaurants closed until April '09
(6 out of the 7 we could find are closed for the season). The change
of seasons is impacting before the weather really changes.

Carrion is one of the prettier and more interesting places so far. At
least three monasteries and an equal number if huge churches.

Tomorrow I will set off again across the meseta to see what the camino
will bring.

Cheer
John
