Day 21 - 24k - Mansilla de Los Mules

We had a decent pilgrim´s meal last night with Marcus from Paderborn in Germany and Frank Wall of Kilkenny. Frank´s grandfather established the men´s clothing shop in the city. His grandmother was a Dooley from Castlecomer. We settled in to watch the match after dinner. Marcus who is a Shalke fan went to bed after the second goal went in. I ended up watching the second half on my own and had to put the lights out. Had a tough day today. There was no place on the whole walk where we could get refreshments. The landscape is as flat as a tack so I had to take out the wide-brimmed hat as the sun was relentless. We are about 18k from Leon now which is the second biggest city on the Camino after Burgos. The walk tomorrow is mainly along the main road with heavy traffic. It looks like beer and tapas for tea tomorrow night.
