Learning to Walk, Day 39, Wednesday, October 5, Navarenxx

October 5, 2022

I’m still here folks! I decided to stay three days in Navarenxx to see a doc about my feet and let them rest. He gave me a very strong anti-inflammatory, said my feet looked amazing for having walked 500-600 km, and did not tell me to stop walking. He also said what I was putting on my heel blister was the best thing to use. Lesson: I will NOT try walking without the liner socks again! I am staying in a wonderful gite with my own room. The hosts are so welcoming and the meals delicious. Gite Le Cri de Girafe, if you are planing your trip.

I plan to start walking again tomorrow, hope to be in St. Jean Pied de Port on Sunday, and hope my feet and the weather allow me to start across the Pyrenees on Tuesday. Prayers, thoughts, healing energy for feet are all welcome!

The photos above are from an Abbeye de Sauvelade. It dates back to the 13th century, but has been destroyed and rebuilt in subsequent centuries. The man who drove the transport van we took to Navarenxx was wonderful and stopped to let us visit and watch the film they project onto the ceiling of the chancel. It was in French so I didn’t get much of it. But I’m glad we got to see it. The Abbey now serves as a gite.
This marker was in the WC of the restaurant where we ate lunch yesterday.
Some interesting history.
Her house is very modest for a queen.
Navarenxx has ramparts you can walk on.
The church in Navarenxx was a lovely, cool place to sit for a while.
Another stretch of the ramparts.

Guard tower I guess?
