2017-09-20 Decazeville - Figeac (31/275 km)

Cobweb (?) in the morning. I saw several of these. 

Just a few lines to show that I'm still alive.

The day started as usual. I had to help 2 ladies out to the GR65. They had lost their way. After a not so exciting walk I reached Linvinhac-le-Haut. Had my morning coffee at a organic coffeehouse where te host was from Guernika. She had even worked at the Youth Hostel where I stayed when I walked Camino del Costa, but not that year.

Shepherds slept in these, once upon a time. Now culture.

It was a long day. I had to eat an improvised lunch at a water dam. Tuna and dry bread. I had planned to make a lunch stop in Saint-Felix, but that village was a less than I had hoped for. No food.

The rest of the day was rather uneventful until I reached my goal of the day Figeac.

I found no gite until I had walked around a bit. And that gite, where I now stay, is somewhat primitive. I could not wash my things as I had planned so it will have to be tomorrow.

I'm actually sitting in a park writing this and hoping for a more and better tomorrow.

But already the dinner was better. Good food inspired from North Africa and an intense discussion with a young French history teacher about EU. He thought that EU should be more or less dismantled - only technocrats and costs - and the independent national states of Europe revived. Interesting but to me a dangerous future. I wonder if his views are common among the younger generation in France?

Café de la mañana en Livinhac-le Haut con una mujer de Guernica sirviendo. Había trabajado en el albergue juvenil pero no en el mismo año que yo visité. Después un día con ninguno especial. En Figeac trové un albergue un poco inferior. Pero una discusión muy interesante con un joven profesor de historia sobre el futuro UE. El no creyó en este, sino un Europa con países independiente. ¡Hmmm!
