Hello all!
You can just ignore this first photo. My sister, Sandi and I were having a discussion of little twinkle lights because of a project she is working on. She is very talented. This was the headboard in last night's hotel. I couldn't get it to text to her so you all get to see it.
A rather realistic scarecrow. I only saw this because I made a wrong turn right off the bat. I am still struggling with the knee so a half mile in the wrong direction is not so good. I think the tendonitis is better but somehow by wearing the little strap that goes just under my knee, it caused me to pull a muscle in my calf. I know this feeling from my old gymnastics days. And it was killing me in the beginning. I was limping through a tunnel and a runner startled me and I twisted around almost falling. I practically saw stars. She was so concerned that I was hurt. I considered taking a taxi but I just kept putting one foot in front of another and here I am at my hotel 16.8 miles later. It actually felt better as the day went on. Luckily, tomorrow is supposed to be 10.5 miles. I will see in the morning how it feels.
Look at this big fellah. He and I probably have something in common...stubborness.
A memorial cross.
And yet, another memorial.
This little baby was still wobbly and so cute. Mama looks pretty good too. What a beautiful coat and mane. I wonder if they call them Palamenos in France. There were three other Palamenos in the field.
I stopped in this beautiful chapel.
It was a memorial to Pierre. What a beautiful little chapel.
A rather clever farmer. Most of my day was through very rural countryside. The trail meandered up and down. I did get a bit of a chuckle. I have a book about this trail with written directions so I tear the appropriate pages out. I don't want to carry the whole darn book. I consult the pages when I am confused. One of the directions said to turn right at the first cow. A little author humor. Other than at the beginning of the day, the trail markers were very clear.
Snow covered mountains in the distance.
Very rocky hillsides.
At first, I was thinking okay, you have my attention and I stood there scratching my head. Then I realized that the warning was for the cars to look out for me. Did I say I was tired by this time?
I'm in cow country.
More rocky scenery. I found a nice rock to sit on for lunch. I had the other half of my pizza from yesterday's lunch. It was excellent! Almost as good as when it was warm.
The bridge over Le Bes River. There were people fishing in the fast flowing water but I didn't see anyone catch anything. A fun thing to do on a lazy Sunday afternoon.
If you look very carefully at the right edge of the flowers, there is a banty chicken hiding.
Looked like a snake pond to me. If you haven't heard the snake pond story...just ask Dennis about snake ponds.
Ha Ha very funny...this was about a block from my hotel. I have always thought that God has a wonderful sense of humor. He does, after all, pair men and women together. Well, most of the time.
I couldn't find my hotel initially so I saw an open bar. I went in and ordered a diet coke...no diet coke. So I showed them a photo of my hotel and I was there. Just when I didn't think I could make another step. Hallelujah and Glory be! It didn't look anything like the photo. It is not as nice as my last hotel but the bar/restaurant downstairs was crowded so that bodes well for my included dinner.
So until tomorrow!
