A Long Walk Around Leòn

Today was a really fun day and I almost had a chance to share it with someone. Last night I met someone from Germany who knows a fair amount of Spanish and we connected immediately. We even made each other laugh and we were about to explore the city together this morning around 11 o'clock but then while he checked the mass times at the Cathedral, I went down a separate street thinking I'd be able to spot his maroon sweater and blond head through the crowd of people but then we never did meet up again. I ended up touring the place on my own and took a bazillion pictures as is my habit. Now it's 20 to 6 and my last idea is to search for him on the route to the bus station so we can at least exchange information. Before all this, I had woken up after 7, hand-washed some clothes, then met a few people at a restaurant across the street. From one of them, I learned about the possibility of going to mass in the famous Cathedral as a way to see it for free. So at 9 AM, I was attending my first mass. Yes, it was in Spanish so I didn't know what was being said. I did learn that the body of Christ = Le corpo de Christo.
