Oct 5
On the Camino in Spain, the last couple of days we have visited the cathedral in Astorga, but also much smaller and simpler churches, including one with a clock pendulum swinging (parable of time passing or the eternal message of the Gospel???). Last night we attended a Vespers that was conducted almost entirely in Latin, sung in Gregorian chant- a sense of timelessness!!!
Today the paths ranged from extremely rocky (TREACHEROUS when wet!!), to colorful, to poetic with the mountain meadow saffrons.
