O'Cebreiro

No Texting today so 
messages are short.

e-mail note from this morning:

It was a great walk today. The village of  O'Cebreiro is up a very beautiful mountain. And!  I felt really good today. My feet cooperated and the weather was hot but not so much that it would kill me. Such beautiful views!!!















Try as I might, the next picture of Leischen and the beautiful view is just not in focus.   It is better in small format.   I can tell she is at a very high elevation and how I wish I could make it a better picture.







It is a beautiful area for walking.  I don't know that this up hill - down hill thing is any easier than the doldrums of flat wheat fields. 
















I am pretty sure that this statue indicates that there is normally a lot of wind in this area.   

The architecture of this town certainly looks interesting.   Leischen did say in her e-mail that her dinner meal was in one of these mushroom types of buildings.    One picture shows a huge John Deere Tractor parked next to one.   That is a sight.

There is a lot of Roman Catholic history in this town. It is suppose to be a "must see" for the Camino Pilgrim.

We had dinner tonight in one of these mushroom type buildings.   It was a gathering of the original pilgrims.  We will soon have bus loads of tourists coming to join us on the last 100 kilometers.   Thins will change so we will have a dinner together tonight and tomorrow and then who knows.   We each sang our own National Anthems's tonight.   The US was the only one in harmony.  ( You are a music teacher, Leischen, I hope it was  ;-)

I hope that we will be able to text tomorrow.  It is very hard when you are waiting for e-mails back and forth.  How funny that I am complaining about "slow" email service to Spain.

Grandma C What unusual buildings.  The scenery is beautiful and I think  Leischen looks great, looking at her you would not guess  that she has walked over 250 miles.  She looks radiant
