Today we had a very beautiful but hard walk because of the difficult gradients we had to face. An other quite important element, today, was the weather that, over the last two days,  completely changed: the cold air coming down from the glaciers has been replaced by a warm wind the warms up the grass and dries the air in our throats and the ideas in our brains.

As it’s becoming usual, I’ve been walking with Roberto, while Stefano is still dealing with some physical problems that, we hope, are slowly getting solved.

Leaving Savines-le-Lac behind us was not really a pain, despite the beauty of the place: the reception, yesterday, almost didn’t exist, except for a kind lady who tried in every prossible way to help us find an accomodation, but came up against a wall of rubber…

On the opposite, today, after many uphills and downhills, we arrived at the sanctuary of Notre Dame du Laus. We were tired and sweaty, since we had found some relief only in the cold water a lady gave us, when we passed in front of her house. Here everything is well organized and they gave us an accomodation with half board for 24.50€ each… and we are sleeping exactly over the cell of Bénoite!

Tonight, after a moment of prayer in the church of the sanctuary, we also met our first pilgrim in France: it’s Ignacio, a guy from Argentina who is walking from Santiago to Jerusalem.

This post is a bit of a nonsense, I know, but I’m literally falling asleep…
