Last night we were joined by two ladies from Mexico as well as Emily and Jenna from the USA. We had a delicious dinner prepared by the host of our albergue. The next morning he woke us up by playing “Ave Maria”.  He continued to play wonderful music as we had a breakfast. Nothing sets the tone of the day more than leaving the albergue and hearing “Don’t worry, be happy” playing as you leave.

We did a 10K climb to O Cebreiro. The views rivaled what we saw in the Pyrenees on Day 1.  It was not as hard as we thought it would be.

The town of O Cebreiro is more of a tour bus stop. It’s a small village of cobblestone streets. We attended a nice pilgrim mass that night, where they had pilgrims do the readings in English, French and Spanish.

Camino fun facts: To walk the Camino Frances, all we need to do is follow yellow arrows painted along the way as well as the official Camino cement markers. It’s pretty amazing.
