<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Big day in O Cebreiro, festival day. See the crowd

<DIV><FONT face=Arial>My son and I were there in 2000 in Meson Carolo. We
were locked in by 1:00am and were told that if we went out we could not get back
in. My son went out and left a block on the exit door hoping no one would
remove it. Luckily he was able to get back in. The music stopped at
3:15am. It was a wonderful experience. We were tired but happy as we
got on our bikes to coast on down to Triacastela.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>In 2003 I arrived a day early and was not able to attend
the festival but did see them setting up for the next day. The albergue
was full and you could not walk a foot without hitting a pilgrim sleeping on the
floor. As we departed OCebreiro we met a lot of locals walking "the wrong
way" on the Camino. The weather was cool and threatening. I hope the
rain held off for them. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>OCebreiro will always be one of the highlights on my
Camino experience.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I had occasion to drive by OCebreiro in 2001 on my way to
a wedding in Los Arcos. So I took my wife to dinner in the same place,
Meson Carolo, that I had dinner with my son in 2000, and dinner alone in
2003. </FONT></DIV>
