Day 26: Aire-Sur-L'Adour to Arzacq-Arraziguet 32 Kilometers


Zoom! Today's forecast included some rain.  We looked at the hourly conditions and we saw a window where we thought we could get some kilometers in before rain really set in. Wasn't a whole lot to see in this stretch so it made for simply a travel day.  Said goodbye to our recent travel mates and we were off by 7:30.  At 10:30 we came to Miramont-Sensacq.  That was 18 kilometers.  A pretty fair pace.  A reastful snack and coffee and we were back on the road.  Kept a decent pace until we came upon a farmer who was relocating a cow and her calf.  Talked with him while we "helped" him herd the cattle.  After we had gotten to kilometer 28 on our day we finally encountered a bit of rain.  Only lasted 1.5 to 2 kilometers and it wasn't very heavy. Pulled in to our destination town at 1:30.  Not bad. 6 hours, 32 kilometers with a stop and some rain.  Treated ourselves to a cafe noisette and then hit the Officine de Tourisme where we checked the weather forecast and booked tomorrow's destination Gite.  Looks like a rain slog day so we are planning a relatively short walk.  Found our Gite and took care of chores. Spent a bit of time resting and planning ahead.  Ate dinner with many at the Gite and also the Frenchmen, Jack and William, who we have been crossing paths with since the Cele Valley. 

Gite Centre d'Accueil. Nice clean and good dinner. Large facility with decent resources.
