Day 11 - Don't Worry about Today

There was much discussion among the pilgrims about the long steep climb leaving Conques. Being afraid of heights and tired from the previous day's walk, I was worried! The collage shows a little bit of Conques and the wonderful B&B we stayed at. Yes, it was built into the mountain wall.

Now about our day. We crossed an ancient bridge across the Lot river and walked to the start of the steep path. 

Where we started the climb. Within minutes I realized that there was nothing to worry about. The path was steep, but my feet felt sure. 

Within a short time we arrived at a small chapel built into the side of the mountain. Each pilgrim rang the bell to let the ones below know they made it safely. 

  

The rest of the day flew by, walking through farmland with beautiful vistas and talking  with other pilgrims. Our second breakfast included a great view, fresh squeezed orange juice, cafe au laite, a sandwich and pastries. 

 

Each day of walking flies by. We are looking forward to tomorrow.
