…from Fromista by bus to the city of Palencia then by train to Leon. My knee is really bad, putting weight on it is very painful ….I have been walking with pain since Logrono …not smart….only got worse…..didn’t rest in Burgos either….walked all over that beautiful city just didn’t have the weight of the back pack….been in denial. So now we are in a Hostal in Leon….no pictures….sorry …..only seen the train station, an urgent care station and the street the Hostel is on.  Plan was to rest my knee, no walking at all, do ice treatments etc. but the fact is we have to quit the Camino….ahhhh….for now. I have what is called in simple terms a runners knee. This will take longer then a few days to heal….so we have to go home. Tomorrow we board the train to Lisbon and from there the plane via London back to JFK. We walked 356 km/223 mi and have 434 km/271 mi to go to Santiago and about 90 km more to Finisterre …..we will be back to finish this…..oh, yes!

I want to thank everyone for following us this far on the Camino, your comments were encouraging and refreshing. It is obvious that I am not a writer…..hopefully entertaining.

To be continued…..
