Couvent de Malet

After how long of a day yesterday was, I went to bed by 8:20 and might have fallen asleep before 9, definitely before any of the snorers, meaning I had a wonderful night's sleep. Woke up before a 6:15 alarm and just listened to the sleeping noises I was able to sleep through, blissful of my luck.
Today started with yet another meal of bread, butter, jam, coffee, and orange juice and then I waited in the cold for a while for the shuttle. Before too long, the Texan couple I met two days ago came along and joined me at the bus stop. We had hot chocolate and made some more reservations in the 90 minutes (or more) we had til 10:20.
I arrived at Couvent (Convent) de Malet, set my pack down inside the building and proceeded to explore the nearby town of St. Come d'Olt as well as walk a bit of the trail I missed. No matter how many ancient French towns/villages I visit, I will not stop appreciating how quaint, classy, or gorgeous they are. Just like how I react to children; I never stop mentioning how I just saw the cutest child.
Needless to say there are more photos to share after this amazing day. When I got hungry for lunch, I enjoyed a scrumptious, giant ciabatta with vegetables and cream on the top. It seemed more like a pizza. This afternoon, I spent time enjoying my nice little room and took a well needed shower.
I just finished a tasty dinner with wine that was reminiscent of one they would serve at the old Episcopal Church I used to go to.
