France Chemin de St. Jacques - Part 1 |
|
|
|
|
| The Gite at Cahors - my first taste of Pilgrim accommodations | Fredrick (from N.E. France) - my first Pilgrim friend - Cahors. We are enjoying a true pilgrim meal of soup and brown bread. | |
|
|
|
|
| The "Sportive" trail - outside Cahors. I was to find out, there would be many such sportive trails on the camino. Especially over the Pyrenees. | Fredrick and (yet another) Fred. Fred, from Brittany took a special liking to 'Jacques'. | |
|
|
|
|
| Entry to Lascabannes - which was supposed to be my destination on my first day of walking. | Gite at Lascabannes - closed. Fredrick ponders his accommodation options for the night. Perhaps a farmer will let him sleep in the barn. | |
|
|
|
|
| 'Jacques' the friendly, silly, stupid dog that followed us for 10 km from Lascabannes to Montcuq. We grew quite attached to Jacques - who I believe makes a living of following pilgrims. Jacques can't be that stupid. We fed him and he made the web. | The gite sleeping accommodation at Lauzerete. Note the laundry drying over the radiator. | |
|
|
|
|
| At the abbey at Moissac. | PC, Jean (the Buddhist from Australia) and Fredrick - Moissac. Jean enjoyed 'walking' in silence - which became more and more difficult as time went on. One of the many nice coffees enjoyed on the trip. | |
