Watch out for that leak-y potato soup. Get's you every time.

Do not run across (or over) donkeys.  Not good for your image..

Did the QB know you went to "Vespers" with Ann. Really, Jeff.  Such loose morals these French have–even on pilgrim roads.

Dee (always looking out for you).

Busca KB Conques

August 29  Sunny and pleasant

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.
