30 August: Espayrac to Conque

It was a mistake staying in Espayrac. Absolutely nothing to do there. Just an old church that had seen better days. It did have a small epicure, which is a small grocery store. It was well stocked with very small cans of ice cold Heineken. And the 300 pound owner took a fancy to me. Adele had a 400 pound son. I 🤔 but I can’t be sure that they had been eating into the inventory.

They told us that the meal that night would be pizza from a pizza chip wagon. I ordered  chorizo and after an hour wait  nothing. I went up to the pizza guy and asked. Where is my 🍕.  He told me I would have to wait 45 more minutes. Mon dieu I said and he said tabernac so I said adieu to you too and left without my pizza. Adele felt sorry for me and gave me a free Heineken. Bless here heart. We exchanged emails (not).

I left at 730. It was cool with a slight breeze but I knew it was going up to 33 today. Luckily I only had 12 klicks to do. As usual the video was half right. We had a 1.5 hour climb, then a 2 kilometer descent over very bad ground. It is frustrating because the bad ground slows you down to a crawl. It took me 45 minutes to cover 1.5 kilometers.

In Conque now having my Pierre d,eau. my Orangina followed by a cold glass of beer. I started talking to Lisa from Toulouse. She like me she said and asked if she could give me a kiss when she left..I said sure thing. She said I was a nice man. I probably reminded here of here grand pere. I felt flattered.
