Day 39- Fromista to Sahagun. 40 miles

Short half day today along quiet, straight but dull road.  Taking a break this afternoon because I have been planning a wee diversion for tomorrow to avoid Leon- I cannot face cycling thru' another city with heavy traffic. Suspect my diversion will involve more mileage but it should also be more interesting for me. The town I am staying in sounds like a Jackie Chan movie, and entering it felt like coming into one of those 1950's midwestern American towns: warm, dusty, with whitewashed square concrete buildings and railway tracks. Whole place has the air of stagnant decay.
