Saint-Chely-d'Aubrac to Espalion
24km

6:30 woke up
it looks she is feeling a lot better. she didn't cough much, well at least I didn't hear.
7:15 grocery shopping, breakfast at gite
8:00 on the Chemin
9:45 there was a little hut with drinks for 1E to offer for pilgrims.
So I had a coffee break. Again many familiar pilgrims passed by some took a rest some went on walking.
11:30 took another break for snacking
12:30 arrived at Saint-Come-d'Olt. Very beautiful &charming village!
I thought of having a lunch there but I decided to continue walking as I was not hungry.
The route after Saint-Come became pretty hard up and downs in the forest.
I took another break just 1.5km before my destination, Espalion.
there was a local French guy doing his exercise with the big rocks!
16:00 arrived at Espalion. Found the Canadian woman by the river. She said she took only once today. she left after me and she is already here relaxing.
Checked in gite. asked the lady to make a reservation for the day after tomorrow. I think it's better to make a reservation 2 days in advance.
After daily routine, explore the town and had a panache at local bar. it's the first time that I want to have something cold.

physical condition:
extreme dry skin on mid finger on left hand - gone
no pain on knees without taping! a bit strange feeling on left ankle - same as yesterday
insect bites on forehead 5 of them!

3.00 raisin Danish, banana, les farcous
13.50 gite
3.00 panache at the bar
4.50 dinner(cooked at gite: pizza, red wine, strawberry tarts)
