<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Ah, Foncebadón;</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>My son and I were biking (Sep 2000) up the long hill past
the Restaurant/Bar at Foncebadón; I was completely exhausted, it was hot,
etc. My son suggested we stop, I said no, I think the hill ends just up
ahead (fool). About a hundred yards beyond the restaurant/bar I stopped
and pulled my bike over into the shade and into the ditch. While I sat in
the shade, my son walked back to the rest/bar to get some soda. When he
walked back, he said, "Dad, you have got to see this place."</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Although it was not my policy to retrace my steps, I went
back and wow, was I glad I did. It was like stepping back in time about
400 years! Medieval, dark, black, heavy planked tables, etc. I think
I saw Dracula having a drink in the corner.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>One of the memorable stops on the Camino.</FONT></DIV>
