Going to Leon

We made a couple stops along the way, one was a bathroom stop at a gas station in the middle of no where, but every time that we stop we have to stop for a half an hour, I guess there’s some law like that or something. So we occupied ourselves by playing tag where you either have to keep all your joints straight or extremely bent, and then when you are tagged it changes. Its become quite the popular game among the group, and we play it at about every gas station we stop at now. But the other stop was pretty cool! It was a little town that is super old, called Castrillo De Los Polvazares, and I am pretty sure they have never done renovations on any of the buildings ever, so we were getting the real thing! It was still kinda siesta time so when we were walking through the streets it was a lot like we were walking through a ghost town. Some of the doors were even awkwardly open and creaking in the wind, so that made the effect of the ghost town even more real! But we wandered through this little town for an hour, taking random pictures and getting weird stares from the viejos when they decided to come out of their houses for paseo. We actually left from this stop on time, because I think the people that we normally wait for did not enjoy this place so much, so they were on the bus early, and we could leave on time!
It was pretty late when we rolled in and got all checked into our hotel and what not, so this was another night of chillin in the hotel. There were a bunch of us girls that had food that we had gotten at the grocery store before, so we all got together in one room and had a picnic with whatever we happened to have and talked the night away. But not too late this time! We had an early start the next day, and I have learned my lesson about 2:30 to bed and 7 to rise! It doesn’t work out so well, and I would not suggest trying it often!
