Ed had a radio show last night at 2am to 3 am which was 5 pm Phoenix time. He set his alarm to wake up for the radio show. He was afraid he might fall asleep during the show so he turned on all the lights. I woke up with him. All I heard was […]
We woke up to a dark grey cloudy sky. First time since we started our pilgrimage. The first seven days were blessed with beautiful and sunny weather. Today however is a totally different story. As we were getting ready to start out walk, the wind has picked up and we can see the tree branches […]
Today is long day of walking. The longest since we arrived into Le Puy. We are now leaving behind the Margeride Plateau and are beginning to cross the Aubrac Plateau, a wide expanse of pastures, old barns, drystone wall stones. We first passed through the hamlets of La Chauze de Peyre and Lasbros rather quickly […]
We had a very pleasant walk from St Alban to Aumont-Aubrac. The trail is never flat and this section is more undulating with only short section of steep up and down. We have left the haute Loire region and we have started to enter the lozere region. Know for its beef (boeuf d’aubrac) as well […]
We woke up all rested this morning. We got dressed then came downstairs for breakfast. Ready to go, we went to the shelf to get our boots. When we came in yesterday, we were early, the first ones to arrive, we put our boots on the common shelf without thinking about where we actually put […]
We woke up this morning certainly well rested and refreshed. Ed had a big smile on his face. I think he missed being a doctor so he offered to give me a complete pilgrim body check free of charge: no blister, very good, no back ache, no hip problem, no ankle swollen, all toes moving […]
It took both of us 3 good days to completely adjust ourselves to France time. We had a really good night sleep, woke up all refreshed at 6 AM, no fussing around. We got ready, packed up our bags and got down to breakfast. Ed was getting over a slight cold, or some kind of […]
We woke up this morning at 6 am and was ready at breakfast table by 7 am. The owner of the farm served a nice breakfast with coffee for Ed, Chocolate for me and fresh baked bread with assorted jam and jelly. Ed was an incredible sleeper on this trip. No jetlag is bothering him. […]
