Aumont Aubrac is a sweet little village with one grocery store, one church and two of everything else. Most of the stores are closed Sunday afternoon and 1/2 the business are closed on Monday. Fortunately we were in one of the well-known gites in town (most people book their rooms 3 months in advance!) and had wonderful dinners on two nights at the gite.

Our chef serving us mashed potatoes with cheese, garlic, and cream (a local delicacy).





This morning we left early as usual. The sky was cloudy with a cool breeze blowing.



It is so peaceful and serene as the light filters in and the sky gets brighter as we walk through the wide open ranch/farm land.











The sun made a few vain attempts to break through the clouds but never quite made it through. First time during our hike so far that we wore our jackets through the whole way.
We see people carrying all kinds of backpacks. Today these two caught our attention.


We made good time covering 16 km with a climb of 85 floors.


We are settled in a Chambre d’hôte located out in the middle of fields. This is the view from our window. As you can the sun is finally victorious.
