Perigeux! Finally. I had dreams of Perigeux as well but unlike Limoges they were not nightmares.
Perigeux – two thirds finished. 600 kilometers completed or, for those piedometer freaks out there, that equates to about 660,000 steps. 300 kilometers to go, or 330,000 steps.
I can’t believe it!
Looking back there has been a multitude of experiences and many, many people I have met:
Robert from Leavan Belgium – encyclopedia man;
The girls from Maastricht. Violin and guitar players – great;
The nuns of the Vezelay Abbaye:when they sang they were like angels from heaven;
Humberta and the Dutch family at the L’Esprit le Chemin. Dutch torture;
Peter from Belgium – cue ball without a hat;
Jean Pierre from Paris- therapist;
Michael and Stepheny from Paris – the vapourizer;
Angelina fron Uzbekistan – an angel;
Boules man and wife at Premery- in love forever;
Crazy Dutchman at Premery- where is my cruise ship;
Bistro owners at Premery – Basquing in the sun;
Philip and Antonia from Dachau Germany – bonding;
Gunter from Dusseldorf; a 10 beer a day man;
Berry, the flying Dutchman
The Von Trappe Family from Normandy
Frederick, Dauphine and Bruno from Paris – wonderful charactures from Paris
Pascal, from Strasbourg
Samuel the philosophical Frenchman trapped in a Hell’s Angel’s body
Fabian at the Dognon – not Favio Dave – Fabian;
Yannick from Denmark – happy with his girlfriend here;
Michel from Belgium – the organic farmer;
Laurent- as in Saint Laurent;
Guy, the anorexic Pilgrim
Gill, the model mathematician – curses the gods of the Pilgrims
Bridgitte, the woman from Lyon -awesome!
As I am sure there are many more to come.
Another nice thing about this trip is that I haven’t watched television since leaving Canada 15 July. Doesn’t really matter as there is nothing on anyway.
