Walled town

 Yesterday we took a taxi ride to the town of Massilla. We shared the cab with a woman from Finland who was going to take a bus to Leon and then go home. She was ending her Camino walk because of shin splints. I could not help but wonder what the pilgrims during the Middle Ages did when they were injured?

Massilla was a small village where we stayed in a rather run down hotel with a very grumpy miserable owner. The Internet service was very poor so I gave up trying to post.

During the Middle Ages the village was surrounded by a wall for protection from invaders. A large part of the wall was still there and was the only interesting part of yet another poor little stop along the way.

After arriving in Massilla we found the first church that was open and we could enter without paying a euro. It was a simple church unlike the massive cathedral we saw in Burgos.

After Charlie performed surgery on my miserable appendage once again, I spent the day off my feet napping and knitting and by this morning I was pain free! 

Earlier this morning we once again traveled by taxi to Leon where we will spend two days. We had previously scheduled an extra day here and the timing is perfect. I hope to be totally healed and ready to get back on the Camino by Tuesday morning!
