Lunch at Le Vernet<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

I slept well. Only my left heel is bothering me this morning. There were ten of us in the gite for the night. Our hosts were kind and fed us well. After breakfast together, I walked alone as I wasn’t ready to walk at the pace of the others. The first stop was at Monistrol d’Allier, a distance of six and a half kilometres. I had coffee then continued on facing a steep climb out of Monistrol. My destination is Saugues. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I stopped for lunch in Le Vernet. Lunch was in an old barn that run by a man in a wheelchair. I met two of the pilgrims who had stayed in the same lodgings last night. It was actually funny as it felt somewhat like a family reunion. Not long after leaving Le Vernet, again continuing on my own, I took a wrong turn. It was obvious to a passing local person that I was on the wrong road. She gave me directions to walk back to the corner about a half-kilometre back the way I came and to turn at the new house. When I got to the corner, I couldn’t find any new house. <\/p>\n\n\n

It took a few more minutes for me to realise that new was relative in comparison to the other houses. Again, inattention in staying present was causing me grief. Just after Rognac, the walking along the road changed to walking along a rocky trail. From that point on, I had a walking partner, someone who had caught up to me. The remainder of the walk was enjoyable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is Internet available in the hostel in Saugues. After a shower and supper, I had a Google Chat with my wife. It was obvious that there were tears being shed on both sides of the connection. I am already considering chucking the whole thing and returning to her. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
