Le troisieme jour! Today was 17 miles, bringing our total to 44 miles for the trip. It is again interesting to speak in feet, gallons, pounds and farenheit to our friends and family and speak in meters, liters, kilograms and celcius to everyone here. We not only translate the French, but also measurement systems. Such is the life …

Today’s journey took us across the ridges of the Margeride mountains, between 4,000 and 4,500 feet. The countryside had a bit of the alpine meadows feel to it.

A better example of the countryside can be seen in our “lunch stop” photo, below. 

There is more to talk about, the numbers of hikers on the trail is starting to drop, the adventures of some of our fellow hikers, etc., but the internet is poor so we will keep this post short.

Bon Journee!
