Le Rouget

Above is a chapel to St Roch which we passed today. I confess I had never heard of St Roch until last year in Spain. He seems to be 2IC to St James on the Camino.

I have been lucky enough to have met Marie and Jean-Pierre who have been very kind and helpful and told me about the last 2 Gites.

Last night I had a wonderful meal: a thin vegetable soup followed by a green salad. Then chicken and mushrooms from the local fields. The mushrooms tasted like none I have had: soft and tasty like sweetmeats.

We are now staying at a farm run by Mme Piq. Evidence that it is a real farm is that you walk through a large barn full of recently harvested hay to get to the pilgrim accommodation. I'm looking forward to the meal tonight.

My knee feels fine now. I am walking 15km or less per day and so far I have had no trouble with blisters or toes. Maybe this is a good plan
