Day 21 - Puente Villarente to Leon 13 kilometers - Camino Frances Completed! Onto Camino Primitivo

It's hard to believe but we have officially completed the Camino De Santiago (Frances Route) from end to end.  We made it back this morning to where we started our Camino two years ago.  Over 800 kilometers (around 500 miles) done on foot.  Spent a little time revisiting some memories in Leon.  I (Ed) actually considered buying new shoes in the city as the ones I am wearing are fading fast.  But I couldn't pull the trigger.  We found the bus station in the afternoon and have wound up in Oviedo, the start of the Camino Primitivo.  It's a different path to Santiago and about the same distance as going there from Leon.  What was completely weird was when we took the bus, we had to cross a mountain range. Going up it was sunny, the land is parched and very brown.  Near the top we went in a tunnel.  When we came out on the other side, it was foggy and the land was a lush green.  Think we are in for a different trip now.
