Thurs. Rain forecasted. Very heavy downpours while walking. Cleared later. Wet socks.

Walk to Marazion and St. Michaels Mount. The coast path between
Mousehole and a bit past Marazion is a cycleway, paved in parts. Flat, easy walking except for the knee deep puddles.

Wildlife Sighting: Many rabbit holes; we actually saw more rabbits today (2) than we have on the entire trip so far.

From Lelant to St. Michael's Mount is allegedly part of a pilgrimage path to Santiago. Another leg completed by QB.

St. Michael is the patron saint of high places. He was seen around the mount in a vision by local fishermen, so the story is not heavily supported by concrete evidence.

Dinner at the Turks Head, a 300 year old pub, maybe the oldest around. Celebrated with Doombar.

The meal came with a creme sauce. We asked if the creme could be left off. The chef said the dish would be too dry and suggested a tomato sauce. I suggested the addition of some chili. It came with a spicy tomato sauce. This is not Bobby's England!

    Jeff has clearly hallucinated the whole conversation with the chef. Or, possibly, the chef was not English.

    If it had been France, they just would have thrown you out of the restaurant.

    If it had been me, I would have diluted some ketchup with water and tabasco and poured it over the dish for you. I would have told you it was Puttanesca. Which is not a nice word….
