Yes, the Dutch banker. His favorite word in English is exquisite. As in, let's have an exquisite appertive, followed by an exquisite little piece of sausage, then an exquisite piece of meat ( "I wish I had my Turk butcher here."), then an exquisite cheese.... Well you get the idea. And he does all the really wonderful cooking in the meagre confines of tiny crowded kitchens infested with hordes of other pilgrims. I never ate so well. Not as much fun as Anne Marie but what the heck.
Well I finally figured out how to do pictures. The above is me in a field of something. I got leaf cuts on my ankles by such antics.
here is the gite we stayed in the other night. it is in the the former presbytery of the church. The priest washed all the pigrims' feet prior to the service. I thankfully missed out on it due to the fact that I was in the shower washing my own feet among other things.
Weather has been overcast and humid lately. I think once I get on the way I will be using the poncho a lot. And I will get a prelude to the infamous Navarra mud. Hope to get back soon.
