I made it to O'Cebreiro...

Well I made it to the top of the hill er mountain!
It was a delightful walk overall. The first 20kms were pretty flat and even though it was beside a road some if the time, it was pretty nice. The road used to be a busy highway but they built a new multi lane one which has taken most of the traffic. I went through some pretty quaint llittle towns all the while there were really big hills everywhere I looked. I kept trying to figure out which one I had to climb but never did untili I had to. The last 8 kms were a pretty steep climb and also pretty. We went from about 500m above sea level to almost 1400m. That may not seem like much but when you are walking it, it sure is.
The hamlet (I don't know any other way to describe it since the population is listed as 50) is a beautiful little place. The roofs on most of the houses are made of what they call broom...and it does look like the material in a straw broom. The views in every direction is truely breathtaking. Since I am now in Galicia, the shops (2) are playing bagpipe music and the symbols are all Celtic for the most part. I guess I will be in this area from now until I arrive in Santiago (7 days from today)! I hope the weather holds out. It is normally quite foggy here but I lucked in as today is sunny and warm. It isn't perfectly clear but it isn't hurting the view! The was the last major climb on my Camino. There are still some climbs but not like today.
Tomorrow, I get to start climbing down the mountain. Others prefer the climb but I prefer the decent (when I know I don't have to climb back up)!
Adios for now!
