El Camino: Walking Alone

April 9, 2024 - Les Faux, France

Day 5 of Walking

The name of my room in Les Faux, France

For the first time I got a little scared on the trail. I had my rain hood up. And this hiker comes out of nowhere, and I kinda had swerved a little bit. He was like right next to me. I screamed. And then he laughed at me. And it kinda got my feathers all in a ruffle. He could’ve at least said bonjour before he was right on my ass. OK I’m done complaining otherwise everything‘s great.

I got sun and warmth. The bone-chilling wind followed by sun again then snow ❄️ then wind, sun, and sleet. I think that’s about how it went but I made it to my house (in French: gite). It’s a lot nicer than anticipated. Guess what my room name is…..

Miss my pups Violet and Mocha. If that is the universe, not saying something, I just don’t know what it would be. 

Discussing the similarities of the French countryside to that of the North Carolina mountains.
