Pretty much all of our training has been along Linear Park and all the while we have been accompanied by the chatter, twitter, warble, squawk, screech, caroling, quacking, cawing and outright laughter of myriad birds; when we haven't felt much like walking it has always been the colours and chorus, the babies and the antics of the birds that have changed our 'drudgery' to joy. Sweet little reminders of God's amazing creation.

Day 17: Leon, Spain

We wake up slowly in Leon, and move around the city allowing ourselves tea and toast ... bypassing tapas which is supposedly done best in Leon. A lovely city. It is our 29th Wedding Anniversary today and in sickness my husband has definitely come through, I can only hope some roadside scenes are blocked from his memory! Some days ago we had dinner with a gentleman from Melbourne who was telling us about the hotel Martin Sheen shouts his friends to in the movie, The Way, and how he himself living life is staying in the Parador Hotels on his pilgrimage across Spain ... Yes, as I speak we are reclining in the Paradores Hotel Leon. We pass by but once! Not quite as grand a room however grand enough for us, and it is in the same most amazing historical building.
