Leon to Mazarife

It seemed to take hours to get out of Leon today, but it was the long gentle walk from city to suburbs to towns all seemingly connected. We chose a green route today which proved to be quite pretty. Our surroundings are changing, to our right scrub land withered trees, bushes, grasses and in the distance a crescent of snow capped mountains. To our left open fields of grasses,newly growing crops stretched of into the distance. The road undulated rising and falling, taking us towards our first mountain in two days time.  We were lucky today it was a beautifully warm sunny day, lunch was at the 20km mark a long leisurely lunch with our shoes and socks of truly a comfortable way to eat lunch and relax. Five kilometres brought us to tonights stop. I am more emotional as the days go on, tears are coming nore easily. I guess with no suprise that the Way is doing its magic.
