A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Astorga

A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Astorga

When we left Leon we had our days planned. One day to VIllare de Manziffe and then onward to Astorga. A funny thing happened along our way. We stopped in Hospital de Camino...and stayed. It was 1:00 in the afternoon when we entered town and as we were about to leave we just stopped and said this was the place for us. Nothing could have been more true or right.

We stayed at the Albergue San Miguel. We knew when the hospitalerio (host) Alberto offered us a comfortable seat and glass of wine we were in the right place. He gave us our room and quickly offered to wash our clothes for us. His kindness towards us will never be forgotten. We had some refreshments and then begin to explore the town.

We were in the right place at the right time. A traditional Spanish Maragata wedding was happening in the plaza and we were there. We were invited to stay and we did. It was so exciting to watch and participate in. There was dancing, fireworks, and incredible cultural festivities. We had so much fun.

We have been the recipients of so much kindness and favor. We never know where each day will bring us but we know that we are exactly where we are supposed to be. We thank our God for His goodness to us as we find delight along our way. It was a spectacular day.

Buen Camino. You are loved so very much.
