Angles to Boissezon 4/19/22

Bonjour!


I was staying about ten miles from the trail so my hosts gave me a ride back to the church where they picked me up yesterday.  This time, the small local Eglise (church) was open.  Last night, I realized that I had lost my sunglasses yesterday as I was walking around the village.  I said my normal prayers, and added a plea for  my sunglasses.  I walked about a block, and there they were!  Prayer works.


The gates of the village


I loved this mailbox — very clever.


Lots of small streams todday.  I heard the cry of the cuckoo bird almost all day.  I think maybe he was talking to me.


There are many lakes and ponds in this area of the mountains.  When was the last time you heard frogs?
I heard an entire symphony of frogs today.  It was a delightul, happy sound that took me back to my childhood.  I miss frogs. Where did they all go?


This is what most of my day looked like.  I had my head in the clouds - literally.


I saw lots of old evergreens with their soft, wispy needles.  It smelled wonderful here in the forest.


I had a fairly easy day of it - 14.9 miles.  I was pretty peppy and made great time, arriving in Boissezon about 1:45. Pretty quick since I didn't start on the trail until about 8:45.


I am staying at this little cottage. named La Reverie complete with a kitchen...


and the most adorable 2nd floor bedroom. That is the whole cottage excpt for a tiny bathroom just off the kitchen. I have a day off tomorrow so this is a good place to spend it except for the weak internet and the fact that there is no market in town.  Such a small problem to have. This will make me rest.  LOL

It took me over an hour to download these few photos.  The internet is not good here.  So I bid you au revoir.
