My favorite spot today. Even though there wasn’t any shade, I couldn’t resist sitting on that chair for a while and letting my thoughts roam.
So many things going through my head… the present moment, cows, my growling stomach, memories, happiness, pain, the rich scent of the french jura meadows, a wasp landing on my face, cows coming closer, missing my work backstage, enjoying the physical exercise, blisters building on my left foot now (grrr), wondering where all this will lead, and telling myself to not wonder too much.
Signage was much better today. So strange after not seeing anything yesterday.
5 hours per day seems to be my limit for the moment. Longer than that and my feet start screaming.
I found out that heavy hiking boots don’t work for me on a long distance hike. With the lighter trekking shoes, it feels so much better. I am becoming a foot whisperer, noticing every little signal those two rebels are sending me. Never ever paid so much attention to my feet before.
French hikers are very polite, too. Bonjour-ing all over the place. One hiker shared his water with me today on the trail when I was out.
Beautiful landscape. Mont Blanc often shining like a diamond on the horizon.
Oh, and I did make it to Plan d’Hotonnes today!
