Aire-sur L'Adour - Arzacq-Arraziquet 32kms

Tuesday, September 26

We arrived in the second of the three "A" towns. The few "z's" in the name indicates we are close to the Basque region. We had glimpses of the Pyrenees.In fact, on the second day out of Moissac we saw the Pyrenees far in the distance. They are still far away.

A very hot and boring walk mostly through fields of corn. Can't even eat the stuff - they use it as feed. Eight hours of actual walking -too much. Everyone complained about the long day upon the arrival at the communal gite - an enormous place...but once again we had our own room.
Arzack is a non-descript town. The best part was the delicious anchovy covered pizza we had for dinner. Absolutely perfect with the bottle of Rose. My feet are also finally toughening up a bit, which aint saying much

I must mention that Les spends must of her walking time counting to 1000. She claims it helps her pass the time during the boring or hard stretches - but I think it has more to do with the company she keeps and his lack of conversational skills. I make up for it in other ways.
