A pleasant evening in Conques, simple dinner provided, sausage and Aligot. Imagine mash potatoes and then mix in enough cheese that they are sticky, like 50/50 and that’s Aligot. After dinner over to the church for a pilgrim blessing, didn’t have the energy to stay for the lecture on the front piece again and the organ concert, but did get my first decent night of sleep since arriving. Up at 7:00am, sort of breakfast, since I can’t eat the pastries, it was a banana and some applesauce and then off on the way. Very steep downhill out of Conques, which is in kind of in a valley, then up the other side, also very steep slippery wet rocks. Weather was quite chilly but warmed up nicely and no rain, cleared up to outright sunny so that was a relief. A few hours in there was a place for coffee that also sold sausage and cheese so I was able to get some snack food. Conques had nothing available…Kept on pluggging but for some reason my right hip really started aching half way through the afternoon, not sure where that came from, but continued slowly and eventually made it my gite. Nice place, nice owner, but way at the bottom of town and my included dinner is way at the top of town. Ughh, just what you don’t want to do after walking 14+miles is walk another mile uphill to dinner. Oh well, at least there is dinner!
