Eauze - Nogaro 23kms

Sunday, September 25th


Another nice and warm day of walking. The right foot hurts, but carry on we do. Five and one-half hours with a brief stop for a biere. A highlight was passing the farm Les wanted to buy - foie gras for life! Our gite - L'Arbladoise - turned out to be an amazing place, especially when the owner gave us a private room with shower and toilet, with two french doors leading to the patio - tres luxurious. Best part of the walking is the end, especially if the end is in a nice place. Like other gites, the owner greets you with a choice of cold drinks and engages in conversation till its time to take you to the room. Always a pleasant way to be greeted.

Awaiting us at the gite was a note from our friend Johaness. He is one day ahead of us. It seems he pushed himself too hard and had to be driven to see a doctor because he had infected blisters. Got to keep those feet happy.

Again, another great communal meal to end the day.
