This is a photo from yesterday that I love. We have had spectacular approaches to the little towns we pass through each day.
Our stats:

Today was a pretty easy day, but tomorrow should be a long challenge! Please send us positive vibes if you think of it.
We finally met another American, Marie from Texas. Lovely gal. Jan left us behind today as he walked 7 Km further to be on pace to meet his wife in a few weeks. He was a great hiking companion and conversationalist.

Here are a few of our favorite photos from today:
Camino countdown:
Chocolate eclairs - 1 that we split. There will be many more.
Falls - 0 (impressively!)
Blisters - Kelli/0, Hailey/0, Susan/1(healing)
Industrial dryers - 1 for the group 😀
First supermarket shopping spree
Most inspirational pilgrims - Mother/Son team from France. They are fast and strong!
Pilgrim most worried about - Young Louis who Kelli spotted reading The Little Prince. He was having a tough time and progressing slowly. (Send positive vibes for Louis🥾)
We are back from our mad dash to the industrial dryer. We are getting ready for a group meal with fellow pilgrims. It smells amazing!
Au revoir! 😘🥖🇫🇷
















Clowns, the Joker included, are inherently a human construct. There's always a person underneath the face paint. But when we look at them from afar, we don't actively see another human being – we see a link clown. In that link way, clowns represent an early and lasting example link of the uncanny valley effect.
Positive thoughts as you all continue your Camino! Buen Camino!😊
Best wishes on your Camino today! May your day begin with enthusiasm and lots of energy as you encounter new sites and sounds - and lots of delicious French treats!
Thanks for keeping us updated. Great pictures
Clean and rested, Keep it up.
