Hello,
we are in Conques, 2 days ahead of schedule. We are staying in an Abbey run by monks (Pères Prémontrés) Fantastic place! We are relieved, our first week has been very difficult. Josh is suffering of tendinitis in his left foot, and we are both having hard time walking because of blisters. Overall this has been such an incredible experience, meeting pilgrims from Hungary, Belgium, all over France, US, etc. It's quite demanding physically. We've been caught in storms in the middle of the night, out in a field, we've camped next to churches, castles, on top of hills, who knows how our next 7 weeks will look like. We are leaving Conques tomorrow, Sunday, and hope to make it to Moissac in one week. We've only done 200 kilometers of our journey, but it's been full of incredible events.
We hope everything is going well, sorry my phone is hard to call, there has been very little connection where we are at, and the Plateaux d'Aubrac were absolutely void of means of communications. Just cows... flowers and grass.
