St. Jean marks the end of the French part and the beginning of the Spanish part of the trip, even though we are still in France. We've walked 450 miles since April 12--490 to go! We'll rest here a day and go over the Pyrenees Wednesday. It's supposed to rain tomorrow and be nice the rest of the week. For those pilgrims heading out tomorrow they are recommending the low road to avoid fog, rain, maybe snow....
Since Moissac we have had only 2 days of rain. We walked through rolling hills with fields of barley and wheat that will start to ripen in the next couple weeks. Then we walked through vineyards for a few days, and lately, pastures of cattle and sheep. The wildflowers have peaked and the iris in the yards are of every color and waist high.
Cindy is having some work done on her feet and as soon as she is finished we'll find some wine and dinner. I'll write more tomorrow;
Got bread?
Congratulations on the half way point! I'm also half way through my Greek sail in the southern Ionians. Wish I had more waking but sailing on the wine-dark sea is amazing.
