Breakfast including home-baked whole grain bread was a nice way to start the day. Also got a glimpse of the Pyrenees mountains from the porch. Said goodbye to Martine and her trusty dog, Gandalf, and we set off. The paths are slowly drying out so a little less puddle jumping. Had our first animal sighting when we saw what we believe to be a boar. It was down in a field and at first we thought it might be a be a dog or a bear. Crazy! Our first stop was in Montreal (that's right....so how many Sprigfields are there?). Took care of business and got a proper coffee and continued. Zig zagged our way through vineyards where we actually saw them harvesting the grapes using a crazy machine. Pique-inqued at Elena's in Lamothe. After lunch we started on this long straight flat trail. Wasn't very scenic but was very peaceful, except for our Geese encounter (thank goodness for the fence). Arrived in Eauze where we did a quick look around (saw our Australian friends), procured provisions for Sunday and then found our Gite, slightly on the outskirts of town. Rested for a while with a nice treat of FaceTime with Eric. Had a very different dinner at our Gite. Had a potato salad with tomatoes, olives, and cheese. And then had grilled Anguilla (eel). Surprisingly tasty!
Gite Chez Nadine - nice, eclectic, kind and helpful owner
