We met a charming French pilgrim today who was so surprised to meet Californians along this route. He asked us how we learned about it and let us know that this region is the most sparsely populated in France; cows outnumber people. The terrain was desolate, dramatic, and featured few towns. Just as we thought weād never see another WC or cafe we stumbled into a warm, charming hikerās oasis. Chestnut cake and cappuccinos revived us and we shared stories and jokes with fellow pilgrims.
Here is our route for today:
73 miles hiked so far, 47.8 miles to go for Kelli and Hailey, 892 to go for Suz. š„¾
Camino Countdown:
Falls - 0!
Blisters - 0!
Snow - flurries today. Tomorrow? āļø
Plateau de Fromage (Cheeseboards) - 3
Le Puy Lentil dishes - soup, warm with veggies, cold with veggies. Delicious!
Aligot - (smooth potatoes combined with cream, butter and cheeses. Waiters scoop with panache!)
We have a well earned rest day in Nasbinals where weāll sleep in and do laundry.
Itās hard to believe that Kelli and Haileyās hike is over half complete. We have made a great team and feel so fortunate to be here.
Sending love from Nasbinals.

The watch features dual gear trains, each with a remontoire, placed link in between the fourth link and fifth wheels. This creates a steadier rate and more accuracy due to the a constant and link consistent flow of energy and torque to each escape wheel. The remontoires are offset, each operating every 10 seconds but in tandem they release power every five seconds, giving direct impulse to the balance at the very end.
So glad that you three enjoyed a rest day after a cold 17 miler! Enjoy the second half! ā¤ļø
I love all your updates and amazing photos. Keep enjoying the French countryside and culinary adventures. Sending good wishes to all three of you! ā¤ļø
