Althez was a dump. A larger town yet another French town that is deader than a French corpse. I just don’t get it. Guide book says to be prepared for closures Sunday and Monday yet is doesn’t matter. This is a Tuesday night. It is a good thing the gite offers a diner and breakfast as part of the fee or I would be deader than a Canadian corpse. And to make matters worse part of the French horde showed up. At diner one woman nattered on and on for over one and a half hours. All in French. When I tried to say something in my shattered French they looked at me as if I was deader than a French corpse. Or they would shrug their shoulders at me and say huh? Huh? Huh? I gave up out of sheer frustration. You feel alone as no one can understand you. But I do have a good friend to accompany me. Have I introduced it to you? Here is a picture of it. Its name is Tongerlo:
It is a dependable compani0n. Never complains and always there to make you feel better. Never talks back. A smooth customer. Eh bai?
Yet during the day walking I feel like a million bucks. So happy. The countryside is spectacular.
I feel like I am in heaven. I sometimes lay back on the grass with my legs up on the bank. I look up to the heavens and say,Lord, my thanks. I feel so darn happy that I just want to scream. And He says Johnnie yes I know exactly what you mean. I do.
I do.
Another good Canadian band. They say this is Canada’s band but I don’t agree with that. But this is a good song by the Tragically Hip. New Orleans Is Sinking:

That my Camino done and dusted . Booked in the inn we stayed and now drinking beer while the other pilgrims wander about with the fones in the hand looking an alburgue. The wee woman was shouting at me , I think she was asking where the Duke was . I gave her €75 for 3 nights. She still shouting but she always does. Hope u are good my friend and enjoying the fresh air
