Had another fun few days. Last weekend as we walked towards the mountain that leads up to O'Cebreiro, we walked past a sign, "Do you need horses?... 5kms". A while later we walked past the same sign again, and then again and again. We probably walked 15 Km's and we never saw the horses "5 Km's ahead". Finally when we stopped for the night in Herrerías and wandered around the village we came upon the horse stable. We signed up for a ride up the hill. It was Great! The best form of transportation yet that we've taken on the Camino. We had a great time talking with our Canadian and German friends as we rode and they walked up the hill. (Some pilgrims were faster than my horse, Carlotta. Carlotta seemed to be hungry and just wanted to stop and chow down quite a bit). It was a great day for a ride. Once in O'Cebreiro we started off again on foot.
Well off again... Lights are about to go out.
A well seasoned grape mashing stick.
190 km to Santiago, 559 back to Roncesvalles.
Our room in herrerías.
Victor, Bonnie and Carlotta...
Half way up the mountain, in a small village, Bonnie and Carlotta knew exactly where to go for a beverage.

A particularly interesting arrow... Next to a nose.
Local fellows in O'Coto that happened to be having lunch at our Casa Rural. After lunch they started singing at the table (this is also after a little Liquor de Herbias). It was a lot of fun.
