Rest day in Leon

Arrived in Leon on Tuesday with Wednesday a rest day. No, John did not get to Burger King, but it was a nice thought in the long walk through Leon traffic!
We rediscovered the beauty of the "other" church in Leon, the Basilica of St Isidore, with a personal invitation from Father Pasqual, who we met by chance while checking in to our hotel at the Collegiata, to evening pilgrim benediction. Well, that turned into a personal talk about the Camino, St Isidore, Our Lady on the Camino and his blessing on the four of us in the private chapel off the sacristy. Below is the adjoining courtyard of our hotel with the Basilica.
