Rain in the morning
It was a sunny day in the village. My alarm rang at 5:30am. I was already walking by 6:00am. I wore my rain coat everyday, because the temperature is low. after three up hill km I take out, but today was different it started raining after the second hill.
I like to leave early, because by 10am the faster walker are already passing by me. Four of them passed me so fast that I thought they were running. Three km later I passed them. They did not have a rain coat. They were under a big bush out of the rocky path. I though: always be prepared before any situation. It is better to drill any situation, what if?
The town of Aumont-Aubrac was covered in flies. But of course they have the best fresh cheese for “aligot”. Any Restaurant in Louisville should have this. I love it! I stayed above the restaurant that created it. And of course, I must ate there.
I concelebrated mass that evening there. To my surprised, it has been the second time that the priest was from Africa. Let’s be realistic here, the Church is changing to be more Catholic-universal, and that is good.
Today I leave Nasbinals. A small village of 300 people, but they know how to have fun. I thought that last night they were are burning the Catholic Church down. For the celebration of the Bastille, they set all the fireworks in front of the church. It was a street party. Look at my Instagram on the blog. We danced till late, and they had good beer.
The two, two! Priests of the village were at the party. The senior was from Paris, and had decided to has a more hermit life. He spoke English very well. The young priest was from Monaco, who is a missionary in Asia. Then he comes every weekend to help the rural parish. He spoke perfect Spanish, and we all had a good time.
I am now at St. Chely of Aubrac. Thanks to David Vigoreaux, a banker from Paris, that motivated me in the last 2 kms.
Today was all descending. Do you remember when Peter wanted to stay at the top of the mountain? I can tell you He did not find so many stones the size of what I found. Again, I did not panic. I just took one at the time. It is taking me 3kms/hour. I can see people dancing on the stones, but I am taking it easy. It is a long way to Compostela.
