Today turned out to be a really good day. Still more difficult than necessary given my two packs. I trekked close to 17 kilometers today to Chanaleilles. But I left this morning knowing the trail would be easy so I wasn't to concerned about not sending the bag. It's not possible to send it forward if you don't know where you'll be sleeping. Today was another beautiful day and I got to hike with someone much of the day and our conversation made the discomfort easier to ignore. We stopped three times and ate during two of them. I bought fresh, homemade cheese with bread in a really cool tiny town. After that 3rd rest my new friend went ahead to get some alone time. In the last stretch, I decided to take yet another break to dry my socks and rest my feet.
When that last rest started, I was able to make a reservation for this town. After a nice pleasant walk with some French company for the last 400 meters. He offered to show me the way since the town isn't on the trail.
Then, I enjoyed another good French conversation with a group who offered to buy me a beer. Since it wasn't yet 5 pm, I thought I could say yes and have better luck falling asleep tonight. I'll find out very soon.
I've also successfully made a reservation in Aumont-Aubrac and a shuttle for my giant pack! Can't wait for another good day!
