A nice Day For walking
Now arrived to Carrión de los Condes. After a recomandation from Luise from Berlin I took accommodation at the Religious Filipenses Sisters in a singleroom with own shower and toilet for just 22€.
With a - apparently - wellworking WIFI I will thy to follow up on my neglected diary. You never know, so I'll split up in smaller parts.

A big sheep herd passed the road while sitting enjoying a quiet rest and coffe with Jack from Alabama. Jack is pilot at American Airlines and having his last vacation before retiring november. Another fine and cozy guy.

As you can see, I'm now sitting - almost saved - at the Filipenses sisters - a little weird place, as Luise said - with the cross, which I - in spite og my gunfight in Hontanas - was awarded after the mass and pilgrim blessing in the church.
During the dinner in Hontanas we were just four pilgrims. Eduardo - a young philosophy student from Brazil and a married couple "portunoles" they called themself. Eduardo did not speak spanish, but translated anyway to english
We came a long way around different philosophers, H. C. Andersen and Bros. Grimm
Eduardo did not immidiately know the two danes, but a quote by Søren Kierkegaard, when I mentioned it. And "The Emperor's New Clothes", was wellknown to him.
Well. I'm happy to have reaches the mass in Hontanas, as I missed the one in Burgos. Still I have never been that close to Jesus as that night. He slept in the bunk bed extention of my bunk bed.

Just went for a walk. Needed to move my legs a little and also something to eat.
Using the opportunity to recognize, how to get quick out of town, while it is still dark.
To morrow it's about carry on and getting out of Carrion.
As I walked in through the gates here at the Filipensessisters, I felt like "Hotel California": 'You can check in but you cannot check out'. I was confirmed in this, when I came back and asked, if I could leave the place around 6 am :"nope"
It's gonna be very exiting to experience whats gonna come up during the night among all these young nuns ..in the 80's.
Some times I like to "taste" a word: "Filipensessisters". I cannot say exactly how it tastes but I've got a feeling that I don't have the need to break up with my hopefully temporary - abstinence (nothing with alkohol to do).
Found during my townwalk a nice place to eat. Unfortunately no pilgrims to find
Then dutch Leny, with whom I had a good talk with yesterday, showed up.
Again we had a fine talk.
Well we had to split, not to get back to my beautiful filipensessisters here at Hotel California.
Hope I can bring more news to horrow .. wrong morrow.

GOOOOOooooddd...night now....
