Day 23 Astorga

Nice pastoral walk to Astorga. Many ladies wished me buen camino but expressed concern at me travelling alone. I talked a while with one abuelita in Astorga that really reminded me of my grandma, especially her eyes.  She told me that I really needed to be careful, especially with all the problems like drugs. When I arrived at albergue I heard that one of the Peregrinos had been robbed right in front. 2nd victim today. Men dressed like cops asked for their wallets pretending to look for drugs and stole money. Pilgrim reported it to the police and apparently they were at the station a long time.
