Walking day 16 THE mountain !

Comunual meal in Albergue . Food not so great but good evening !
The pilgrim statue in O'Cebreiro
Entering Galicia with Kat 
Actual sink in tiny old restaurant 
Pretty church in O'Cebreiro
Fire in very old home in O'Cebreiro !
So I feared for today . This was to be our hardest challenge . 9.5 km up hill and then more up dans downhills for another 13 km . But ..... I survived and did it :) after less then 1 km I met Kay from DC and it turned out we both wanted to take the slower approach . So Tom went on alone and Kat and I walked together the whole day . Wonderful but hard day . At the top of the mountain there was this amazing VERY old town .  A beautiful little church and at the restaurant where we had lunch the old bathroom had the most crazy sink I've ever seen :) after lunch we went on any it still took us another 5 hrs . So in total we hiked 9 hrs ! But we saw lots of cool things so it was so worth it . We went passed a great statue of a prim , the old town and as usual amazing vista's . At night we had our first communal meal with other pilgrims . Not my favorite food but a good night all together . We walked 360 km now !!!
