Day 56 - Aigle to Saint Maurice

A really mixed bag of walking today; vineyards, forests, riverside (La Gryonne and the Rhone), railway line side, and, of course, minor country road ways. I got some good climbing in and saw the most beautiful wooden sculptures along a path called Sentier du Pelerin (Pilgrims Path). Now I'm in Switzerland, I have to remember to keep looking up - my sun hat prevents that, so that I don't miss the mountains all around me. I'm staying tonight with the Franciscans - a commercial enterprise that seems to be doing very well. Note how pale the Rhone looks. As I was walking next to it, I could feel the chill in the breeze.Leer más
