Vézelay

We have now had dinner, and a few small things to add. Amr did have his tête de boeuf and I had a salade de Bourgogne- a beautiful bowl of leaves with ham, cheese, pickled onions and mushrooms, and topped with a poached egg…yum. And of course a pinot noir in glasses like ours - not Paul approved, but familiar. I finished with a crème caramel. The funny thing was that the French are inclined to bring their dogs to restaurants…in Paris this is very elegant, but tonight there were 2 dog tables. One with 2 big dogs, and another with 1 medium. The trouble started when the 2 big dogs were leaving and the 1 medium could not control himself…we were laughing to hear the owner saying “çà suffit”….anyway finally he settled down, then another came in, and sat at the table next to us…but this time it was not so much fuss…calmer vibes perhaps…. We were in the outside covered area which is very pleasant to sit in, but we were cold…maybe jet lag after 4 days, or the strange weather. It is delightfully cool, not really summery, but when the sun peeps out and it isn’t windy can get quite warm, then it gets cold again. Some people were in t-shirts and others in down jackets, so maybe it’s not just us! When we walked back we noticed a clear sky and were shivering! Tomorrow may have showers, so we will be prepared for anything. Tomorrow is day 3 of our programme, but our first walking day. We finish on day 51, and have a total of 42 days of walking - having 5 towns where we have a rest day. So tomorrow is the beginning….Meer informatie
