Awoke to a bit of rain today. Had a nice breakfast at Eileen and Chris' Gite. But we donned our raincoats and pack covers and headed out. Rain off and on for the first eight kilometers and some of the paths were quite muddy. Stopped in Lauzerte, a nice medieval town. They were cleaning up from a renaissance festival the day before. We found an actual supermarket at the foot of the village and bought some stuff for lunch. It's Monday so we feel fortunate to find food. Stopped at the tourism office where they booked us a place for tomorrow. Took a tour through their Pelerin garden which was a cool museum-type area devoted to those who walk the way. Traveled another 10 kilometers after that and had a nice stop at a crossroads store where we had our absolutely delicious picnic and a touch of coffee. A 14 kilometer jaunt landed us in Moissac. After a bit of a look around we found our Gite run by Rom and Aideen, a lovely couple from Ireland. We were greeted with cool drinks and great hospitality. After our normal afternoon routine we walked around the town center and then went to the cathedral where we heard the nuns sing some great Psalms. The community dinner was quite good and fun where we pitched in and helped wash dishes after as their dishwasher had broken today.
Gite Altreia - Clean, bunk beds, great family dinner and breakfast. Run by a great couple from Ireland. Superb hospitality.
