Basquing in St. Palais!

About 6km from here is where the Tours Route meets the Le Puy route. It's a specific spot marked by a Basque monument that has been "the spot" for more than 1000 years.  

I'm in the town of St. Palais. It's technically on the Tours route, but I came here in the spring because its only a few km off of the Route that I took (Le Puy). 

It's great to be back!  There is wifi everywhere and women all have these cute short haircuts. In fact it's a little better than last time because the main square was all torn up, and now the construction is finished. 

The laundry stars aligned today. I thought I remembered a laundromat in the main square from last time and sure enough I was right. So I'll be starting the actual Camino all squeaky clean. 

Basque houses are really nice.
