** Rocking Time in Leon part 3 **

I liked Leon...can ya tell!  Getting there wasn't easy, and the people you came across...interesting!

At one point, Pilgrims actually had to get across this four lane highway....without the bridge!
Wonder how much for the cart!  The contrast between the old and the new was astounding.

On his way back from Santiago to Germany.
A painful reminder of Spain's 20% unemployement.
One of the beautiful fountains.
The main entrance to the Cathedral.  Loved the Blessed Mother here, She is so regal.

Details to keep you occupied by the hour, including hints of the original coloring.
There really was a hushed sort of reverence...till that choir from Madrid showed up! And then it was "Make a joyful noise unto the Lord!"

Nothing to say .... just ahhhhh!

Ahhh!
Flowers in place, the choir as warming up...the wedding would begin soon.
Ahhh!  One bas relief that all pilgrims can relate to only too well!
