Only did 18 km today. It was an easy and beautiful path and I stopped to take many pictures and had to refrain from doing so every 20 meters when I saw yet another cool looking house or moss covered, twisted tree. Unlike yesterday, much of it was through the woods instead of asphalt and I got to enjoy the signs of the imminent fall weather. The leaves are starting to change and I can hardly wait to start seeing all these ancient towns surrounded by all the various colors of autumn.
Once in town, I quickly found my hostel and walked around the town a bit before relaxing for the rest of the afternoon. This evening at dinner, my French seemed to be improving. I was able to keep up my part of the French conversation even with a couple glasses of wine, which is saying something. The meal was amazing as always and I enjoyed so much of it, that I couldn't touch the home made apple pie when it was offered. Now I feel too full to fall asleep.
Tomorrow, I might take a bus to Cahors in the morning and explore the town. We'll see what the day brings.
(Sorry if this post ended up as gibberish; being tired, full, and perhaps tipsy makes typing slightly harder than normal.)
Sounds like a great day! I'm so glad you are enjoying some of the great French
