Les Mathieux to Gamel - 20 kilometers

Chilly start (50s) warmed up to the low 70s.  

Started with a rocky descent and then nice trails.

Started out at 8:00, after chocolate croissants, croissants, bread, tea and coffee.  We bought a fromage sandwich to take with.

We stopped and ate our sandwich around 11:30, six others walkers stopped at the same spot -  4-5 picnic tables makes for a popular spot.

Our first fields of sun flowers.


Track was dirt and stones today 

Some mud


Unknown crop

A gariotte, looks like a caselle to me.  

At last a sign for our lodging.

Tiny Chapelle St-Jean along the path - always open so walkers can get shelter in bad weather 

Walking, walking

Our lodging. Gîte Clos de Gamel.

Nice place, a swimming pool but a little too cool out to take a dip.  We soak our feet for awhile.


What's for dinner?
We had a terrific dinner.  Wine and great food.
 
Crudités - shredded carrots with garlic and a mild dressing.

Lasagna - very good

Fresh green salad with vinegar and olive oil dressing

Cheese plate

Fresh fruit salad for dessert.

Definitely stay here again.

Good thing we walk 14 miles tomorrow.
