Arles
We arrived in Arles in the late afternoon yesterday. The temperature was 75F (23C) as we got off the plane in Beziers. The wind was light and the sun bright. Wonderful.
The only hitch on the journey was an hour stall on the RR from Beziers. A “broken track” held us hostage as trains from both directions seeped through on the only operating track.
Last night and this afternoon we visited with Babette and Paul, writers of the Lightfood Guides to the Via Francigena who live here. We have communicated long via email. But it was great visiting face to face. We learned a lot about each other and they shared their knowledge of the route immediately in front of us to the east into Italy. They are working on a book on this link between the Camino de Santiago and the Via Francigena. Look for it in January 2011. Thanks for everything Paul and Babette.
Tomorrow we take our first steps on our new meanderings.
