Ok, guys!
It,s a rainy day today and luckily the owner of the Gite offered us free transbaggage so 4 of us and the others walked without rucksacks but still in the rain.
One of the French men had some problem so went to see a doctor in Cahors yesterday and we took a road rather than official pilgrimage trail, normally with a lot of mountains.
I bought a new pair of walking shoes as I told you yesterday and it was a good day for the experiment, water proof(hooray Gore-Tex!) and hard soles. They were not too solid, flexible enough without a long time experiment and Gore-Tex world is just different from my damn old shoes worn-out leather.
It,s sometimes good to walk on the road but not really great for my back(back bone gets all pressere and weight of my body) and knee. I have some pain in my both ankles and they are taking in a turn to make me hard everyday but I found my muscles get stronger after the pain so it,s not a big problem, just annoying.
Walking in the rain is more likely an experience to listen to myself, my breath and foot steps. However, I could hear and see the wind today after the rain.
Wind made streams in the middle of the green wheat field!!
Can you imagine the sound and the scenary???
I,m sorry I couldn,t catch the moments with my camera as it needs a special technique and tools; I,m not that good.
I was singing a song, Blowing In The Wind-Bob Dylan and birds were sining on trees.
God, it,s not possible to tell you everything in our languages!
Ok, folks...
Time to go; more pilgrims are arriving and they want to use the net, too.
I,m just happy to be on the net today again anyway.
Bye for now.
Love,
Sejin from Montcuq(it means ASS in French, I heard :-)

Hey romantic lunatic!
I was not checking on you for a while and ...hey you made some progress! I enjoyed particularly the mouthful of fresh air in your last post. I used to spend time walking through mountains back in Italy and was able to recall those extatic experiences while reading your thoughts.
It has been almost 10 days from your last message. Hopefully you are doing fine in your new shoes and the weather is treting you kindly. Well, I guess you are tough enough anyway...
Take care. Hugs from our burocratic fake world,
Giacomo.
