Saint-Antoine to Lectoure 24kms

September 21st

Flat. I was led to believe this section of the Chemin was flat. Yesterday was mostly flat. Sacramento is flat. But this Chemin is not flat, especially with 8 kilos on my back. Every little hill feels like Mt Everest. In fact, last night at our very mediocre pilgrim evening meal, a french woman claimed that the elevation change between Le Puy and St Jean de Port is 18,000 meters, or 1 and 1/2 Mt Everests. I believe her.

Nevertheless, it was a lovely walk through rolling hills. We arrived at our cute little gite extremely tired. But nothing a bottle of Rose and a bloc of foie gras would not cure. In fact Les thinks foie gras is the remedy for any ailment - but you all know that already.

A very good meal at a Michelin mentioned restaurant that evening
