Auvillar to Lectoure to La Romieu to Condom

We arrived at Auvillar on the 19th. It was voted by the French to be one of the prettiest small villages

In France with very good reason. We stayed at the Gite Communal which was outstanding. A full

range of facilities and a panoramic hillside view which included a nuclear power station

We walked 33k. from

Auvillar to Lectoure where we arrived very tired. It was our longest walk.

We had time only to do our washing, have dinner ,see the sights and go to bed. 

La Romieu was easier. I went to the UNESCO listed church and cloisters and then to a dormitory

Gite which was once a convent. We bought dinner at a deli and ate it with the others at the gite.

Today was another easy walk to Condom. 

Tomorrow will be different as we have 34 k. to walk on a hot day.

I eat a lot of roadside fruit as we walk. Here is what is available and when-

Blackberries.   - anytime

Blueberries.     -Alpine only

Apples.            -some varieties are o.k now

Purple date plums-  just right now

Yellow plums.     -ditto

Brown skinned pears- ready

Peaches.        -soon

Cherries.        -season now finished

Melons.         -now from roadside stalls

Cheers to all
