Today was about 15 miles, bringing our total to 72.
When you do a journey like this, you cannot help but meet people … and people from all over. There are the four Australians, a very friendly group. Many groups of French; some with 5 day plans and some with several week plans. There are hikers from Canada, Japan and even Nepal! Each has a story and if you take the time, you might be able to hear them!
The hike today was, well, beautiful … again. Today seemed a bit like the high plains of Nebraska or South Dakota, as: 
And, 
The altitude is about 3,500 to 4,000′, helping to give the landscape a bit of the Alpine meadows feel
Four years ago, when we did the Camino Frances, we did a post on “Finding Your Way on the Way”. So, how different is it in France? Well, not much!
Here’s the first signpost as you leave the cathedral in Le Puy: 
Sometimes, they are formal signs: 
Most often, they are “white over red” stripes that indicate the Chemin (way) and are found on trees: 
On road signs: 
And on rocks, fences, roofs, and about anything that doesn’t fly away.
When they want to indicate a turn, they show it on the Red and White sign, as: 
When they want you not to go a certain way, they use the Red and White lines to form an “X”, meaning ‘don’t go this way! ‘
Overall signs on the Chemin are pretty good!
How cool are the signs?? Much different than seeing yellow arrows every where on the CF. Looks a lot more rugged there. Your pictures are great! You must have better internet access this time. Looking forward to tomorrow’s adventure. I love being with you! Hugs and Kisses to both of you.
Bonjour Willow! Yes, the signage is different, but the frequency of trail marks is very good. And there are plenty of stretches that are rugged, yet very beautiful. There are also the obligatory stretches of road walking; not long, but enough to remind you that this is a Camino and not the John Muir trail. Thanks for reading the blog. We love you, too.
