June 26, 2013. Walking Day 20
Arrived in Astorga, a very quaint little town. Today's route was not as bad as yesterday's but almost. We got a late start and so we didn't have of the cool morning to walk in.
Spent most of the day walking with my friends from Madrid. It was good having them here. Unfortunately a small family crisis arose and they were to head back home 2 days earlier than expected.
I got them to the bus station then went to the Albergue to wait for the others to arrive. An hour passedand no show so I went ahead and checked in. After getting cleaned up I received an email from them saying two were struggling from tendinitis so they stopped earlier for the day.
My experience has been that when this happens you get out of sync and then loose contact. I was disappointed and wondered who God would have to be my next walking companion. I was to find out later in the day.
After dinner I stumbled across two people who, though were not walking companions, were part of the inner group of our traveling community. After inquiring about my traveling companions they invited me to walk with them the next morning. Question answered.
