Day 40 – Maslacq to Narvarrenx
Hang on to your hat…it’s a roller coaster. At least that’s what today’s walk felt like. These weren’t the longest or highest climbs of the trek, but definitely steep and relentless throughout the day.

In spite of our huffing and puffing, we had a pretty good day.





Day 41 – Navarrenx to Lichos
Friday the 13th was our lucky day. Just nine miles to our next overnight stop. Our walking took us back into forests and through pastures on dirt trails. The day was cooler with rain expected Saturday. A very pleasant day.

Day 42 – Lichos to Saint-Palais

We’re curious about the spring-like grass covering the hills and fields. What keeps it green and growing during the recent heat? Consistent temperatures in the 80s-90s (F) have caused us to wilt like old heads of lettuce, yet the landscape looks fresh and new. Very puzzling…




We weren’t sure whether this grand old building still houses a school as the sign indicated. If not, there’s a good chance it’s haunted.
On to our next stop – Saint-Palais…then just two more days of walking!
