Leon Cathedral and a Bodega

Posted on by Pete Schloss

Dear Christine, Friends and Followers.

Written 10 June from Hospital de Orbigo (a town not a hospital)

As promised here are pictures of the Leon Cathedral. As a “bonus” we were walking in the countryside and as I passed what I call a “Hobbit House”.(looks like a big underground storm shelter)

Examples from my 2013 Camino.

I saw two young men working to clear an overgrowth of brush.

.

My curiosity drove me to try and communicate a question in pantomime, “What is this??”.

I eventually learned that it was a family bodega, underground wine storage. Originally his grandfather’s, but being restored and purposed by he and his brother. He invited us in!

I would not have been surprised to see bodies and Dracula’s bride. I’ve been 24 hours still pulling cobwebs from my hair and clothes.

Love you Christine.

Peace Everyone. Buen Camino! Pete
