Remember the town where hotels are closed on Sundays? And the one where bars are closed on Mondays? I'm in a place called Bergouey-Viellenave where there's no food at all. No stores, restaurants or bars.
I thought I might have made it to St. Palais today but it was 40km not 31 so
I'm staying at a studio apartment in the town hall, for 10e. A nice little place that even has a washing machine. There's no clothes line though so I'll just continue hand washing a couple of things at a time every couple of days until the washing machine stars are perfectly aligned.
News Flash!
A lady just came knocking at my door introducing herself as the lady who owns a fancy charcuterie 20km away. A charcuterie is like a fancy deli and she phoned her husband an order of a baguette, some cheese, sausage, string beans, two peaches, two apples, a yogurt, two beers and a half bottle of red wine. She'll bring over when her husband gets home. Woohoo!

I'm so glad to be in hilly terrain. Not only is the scenery far more beautiful but the hills really make for a more comfortable walk. Pure flat walking puts so much repetitive stress on the same parts of my feet and legs that after just a couple of hours it's very painful. The hills seem to stretch out my feet and probably bring some extra blood to the legs as well so this was the most comfortable 26km I've had in a long time.
I took a lot of pictures today but the 10e town hall studio doesn't seem to have wifi. In fact I'm not getting any cell service at all from in here so I'll walk around later & try to post this.
