Hola,  okay my words fail me when trying to convey to you the depth of 

beauty that was before me  today.  I made it to Ocebriero and i am 

officially in the region known as Galicia pronounced ga lee thia. 

The first bar i came to  around one ish  had Celtic music playing. 

I knew it was going to be a good day. :). After a rather confusing 

start because I started  when it was dark AND the markers were't very 

evident the day was magical.  I had perfect sunshine cool breeze blue 

sky and white clouds to escort me through what almost felt like a 

rainforest after the dry conditions I have been walking through. It 

was lush with green green green and water and birds twittering and 

the glorious clanking of cow bells and my daily rooster call. Many of 

you might not be aware that I am a chicken whisperer and  today I think  

I might gave been invited to join a group of chickens. I can't remember 

what a group of chickens is called  if anyone can enlighten me when i get 

back that would be  great. Anyway back to my story. The vistas took my 

breath away and it really is amazing I made it here at all because of 

my gawking and photo shooting. The trees and water at times took me 

back to Pa and their is definitely a Fall vibe happening here.    The 

rolling vast vistas can not be captured in a picture although I try. 
This is so different than the region that was so dry that when we 

walked on the trail there were puffs of dust.  Not today.  Oh I almost 

forgot when walking today the cow bells sounded louder than usual and 

that was because a man and woman were escorting the cows down the 

Camino trail. I stepped aside for them :). I often write about the 

people I meet and it must appear that I am always with someone , 

but that isn't so at all. Most of the time I walk alone and might 

chit chat with folks as I pass or when we stop for cafe con leche. 

I find I love the silence and i really don't want to chat all the 

time.  Amazing you say.  Ah the miracles if the Camino.  Ocebriero 

is a gorgeous little town but very touristy. Nothing wrong  with 

that it just seems odd after the little villages. Beautiful things 

but my shopping gene is on hiatus until Santiago since I have to 

carry everything I buy. Okay it's cold out here on the stone wall 

overlooking a vista I am going to take a photo if and I'm ready for 

dinner.  Live to you all embrace this glorious day.
