Walking Day 27 restated (ignore previous)

Today was a long day.  We had planned to make the last major ascent of the Camino in the morning when we would be fresh.  So after a nice breakfast we were under foot at 0745 and yes it was steep (still not as steep as doing the Catalina ridge).  After we crossed into the Xunta (state) (local dialect replaces the J with X) of Galacia  the farm animals were all along and on the Camino.  It's cool, really! So we arrive at  O'Cebreiro around 1000, another famous place on the Camino where the yellow arrow was started.  This also is a starting point for many pilgrims.  It is interesting to see fresh legs.    They start so eagerly. 

On the way we peaked at Alto do Poco (1335m) with yet another statue, this time a pilgrim walking into a brisk wind.

So now we are in Triacastela named after the 3 castles that are no more, destroyed in any of the many wars.  We have 6 walking days to go and thankfully tomorrow will be a light day, around 19 km and maybe relief for JL.
