Busca KB Conques

A rest day catching up on items such as laundry and itinerary planning.  Nice nap too.

Two highlights of the day ( no pics today )

– Went to Vespers at the cathedral.  Sat in the nave with the two monks.   Even though this is an important cathedral there are only 5 monks – I asked the monk who ran the service.  He has a lovely voice though QB thought that he was a bit creaky from a cold.    We sat in the nave and there was a blessing for us pilgrims, a reading from Timothy and, in French of course, " the lords prayer".  

Then off to make dinner in the FEMA trailer.  Decided to try canned goods, and paper packaged goods from the store; and experiment,

– tomatoes, fresh, excellent

-pan de compagne, fresh and excellent

– two cans and sardines in tomato sauce, excellent

-can of tuna in oil, not very good

– vegetable soup and leak potato soup.   Neither any good except as a base.  Needed Sara's magic but, alas, Sara is a continent away.  

– canned Cassoulet.   Had to try it.  Meat like Vienna sausage and beans that were so bland that a  child would like it.  As I said, an experiment.

-fromage of course.

Ran across the two donkeys so he must have gotten them to cross the stream which they were refusing to cross a few days ago.  He is at the same gite as Ann, Ian and Dennis.

Had beers with the three of them and then went to vespers with Ann.
