I don’t know why, but I was tired today and it’s my shortest day of the whole trip. It rained all day, but I was warm and comfortable and it was a lighter rain than yesterday. I looked back at the route to see what I’d written last year when Rick and I were walking this and there was so much more history because of my resource book. I liked seeing some of the same places and actually, tonight, I’m staying in the same place we stayed in before. It’ll be the only time. I’d love to have Rick with me here to revisit together.
Isn’t this pretty? All one farmhouse and buildings.
I left early, seeing large groups of both adults and students loading their luggage, so leaving early allowed for a bit of quiet time on the trail. I also consistently chose the alternative route that was the original. So few people make this choice because it usually adds a bit to the day. And it’s always been beautiful!
This is the church that was the stopping point during the Spanish flu period – pilgrims couldn’t go further, so if they made it here, they got their certificate or whatever it was they were given for making the pilgrimage.
Another wonderful stone village. I haven’t mentioned it but I watched Beauty and the Beast on the plane – can only handle seriously light material when I need to sleep. And I’ve been singing Emma Watson’s first song ever since, about the provincial village. So stuck and has been since I started walking.
This is from my room, so pretty and thinking it’ll be quieter tonight, might not even need my phone’s river sound noise!
