All goes well. Not much mail from anyone. There was 4 inches of snow yesterday morning at Domaine du Sauvage -- a beautiful wild place in big old stone farm buildings that reminded me of Wuthering Heights. I have met friendly helpful people; but no one who speaks more than a few words of English, so c'est difficile. Sometimes I get lost en route and there is no one to ask for help. I am at internet in toursit office this morning and have another 10 or 12 km to go. I have been walking with Corinne and Tristan and Monique et René, but since I have stopped here to check internet? I will have lost them until tonight when we will all be at the same place.

I need to buy pain and fruit because there will be no stores open -- where there are stores -- for perhaps 2 days -- closed Sunday and Monday.
Thanks to all of you for prayers and energy you are sending my way. I have many thoughts as I walk of friends and family.
I wish you well for the crossing of the Aubrac Plateau. Snow? Drenching rain? Mist Or clear weather with fine views? I wait to hear!
ReplyDeleteI hope you stayed at La Ferme du Barry in Aumont-Aubrac and had some wonderful aligot for supper and if you were lucky he also made strawberry tart! When you get to the village of Aubrac in a couple of days, if the church is open, go see the paintings by Hervé Vernhès. They depict the history of the village from its founding by Adalard to early 20th century. Quite interesting. And if you don't yet have a place to stay in St Chély Aubrac, the Gîte d'étape St. André is very nice and they have internet access. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you're still going strong, mom! Take lots of pictures!
ReplyDeleteI did have aligot and sausage for supper at Las Gentianes, also a very lovely place. But, alas, the salad was only for the vegetarians. I so wanted a taste of salad, too!
