Walking Again!

Aumont-Aubrac-Les Quatre Chemins ( 100km )

We stayed at the local watering hole of Chez Regine.

We left Albi after a wonderful and healing side trip and returned to Aumont-Aubrac to start walking again. It was fantastic to be back on the Camino.

Side Trip to Albi

Today we hopped on a train and bus to visit Albi the center of the Cathar Heretics and the home of the Toulouse-Lautrec Museum.

The Aubrac

Saint-Alban-sur-Limagnole to Aumont-Aubrac (89)km

Hotel Aubrac

Another day sipping espressos and resting my feet waiting for Gord to meet up with me after his walk.

Cargo Time

Saugues to Saint-Alban-Sur-Limagnole (72.5km)

Stayed at the Chambre d'Hotes of Mr. et Mme Soubiran- Peyridieu.

Gord made some good mileage today as I rested my feet in the Malle Postale baggage transport van. We have climbed up onto the Aubrac now and spring has just arrived.

Blisters and Bliss

Monstrol D'Allier to Saugues ( 40km)

We stayed at the lovely family dairy farm Martins Itier. Each day the scenery is different, but always stunning. We climbed up to a high plateau dotted with tiny towns.

My feet need a rest until the blisters pop, heal or both.

Blisters the size of Quarters!

Day 2 Montbonnet to Monistrol d'Allier ( 28km)

We stayed at La Tasbone where we celebrated our anniversary with our new Camino Friends Claudine, Pierre, Marie, Patricia, Karine, Maude & Valérie !!!!

The celebration included the arrival of Claudine and Pierre's to serenade us and demand that Gord get down on his knee and renew his vows to me.

All of the great fun helped to distract me from the blisters I got from the sharp edge of my new orthotics!@#$!!

The Walking Begins!

Day 1 Le Puy-En-Velay to Montbonnet (15km)

Stayed at Le Gite L'Escole

In Montbonnet we met Claudine and Pierre, Quebequois from Montreal. We had a great evening with Pierre translating as needed as we dusted off our shaky French. We also met three lovely French women who were enjoying a week of freedom from the demands of mothering.

Our first night eating a communal dinner was great.
