a rest day!! Well almost. We had the day to spend with our host family, which meant we could sleep in. It might not get dark till 10ish but it doesn't get light till around 7, something I am not adjusting to.
After a leisurely breakfast we walked up to the old part of Caceres again for some more sightseeing. Although the Spain is very strongly Catholic, this has not always been and we visited an Arabic house/museum. We went to Mass at the pro Cathedral of Santa Maria and then returned home before visiting the lookout prior to the farewell dinner with all the host families. All of the pilgrims across Coria-Caceres came together in the evening. This culminated in a youth festival that finished at 1am. Sleep? Missed out again.
Our final day in Caceres was spent celebrating Mass with the Local Bishop at a basketball stadium. It was very hot, again, and many of the pilgrims started to show the effects of the heat and lack of sleep. The medicos were kept very busy. After lunch, a 4 hour bus trip to our university accommodation in Madrid.
