Hi Pilgrims!I know it's been a while. Both Sandy and I have been busy. I know sounds like a lame excuse. Sandy has been working hard on college courses, and it seems like I'm busy doing newspaper work and family things. Before you know it, months have flown by.
On our second and third days of walking the road of sanctuaries from Longueuil to Varennes to Vercheres, we faced challenges with our feet and with the weather. One day was hot and sunny and the next was cold and rainy. It soon became apparent that walk was going to have some very big differences from the Camino de Santiago.
Weather in Canada in summer can get a bit on the cool side or the extremely hot side. And we figured out that there would be a lot of road walking which took a toll on our knees and feet.
Oh, and there was a lack of "trees" to use for when nature calls. Okay, so it wasn't a lack of trees, but it seemed that all the trees were in front yards of lovely manicured lawns along the road side. When I finally found a vacant lot with flowers, bushes and trees.. it also had a skeleton of animal hooked to a leather collar. But, nature calls.
I've included some pictures of the two days: the bike path along the St Lawrence, The museum of Mere d'youville (our second albergue), the mattresses, Sandy and the lovely lady who gave us directions to breakfast places, me at the wooded lot, Sandy's feet, our third night accommodations at the rest home, and our fresh pates and cheeses.
We hope to podcast again soon,
Buen Camino.
