20 april Le Lac de Dognon - St Leonard-de-Noblat 16 km/ 421 km E

Also to day a short trip of 16 km just to spare my foot. I have walked as slowly as I possibly can, sort of with the speed of a turtle and with long breaks and all, I still was here at 15:00 hrs which means an overall evarage speed of 2,5 km/hr. Anyway, here is an insight for you Peter albeit maybe not a deep one. Going the Way I have started to appreciate the burden of my too heavy back pack. It makes me lower my shoulders, which is good against stress (Not that that is an issue, but still!) and it slows me down, which makes me sort of living in the slow lane and that is what this trip among others is about. Walking the Camino is living in the moment and living slow which is what so many people are looking for these days. Enough of that.
As I mentioned Yesterday, I met these two French women, Vallery and Lorance in the hotel again yesterday evening. Vallery said she did healing, and after diner she offered to try it on my foot. I took my shoe and sock off and she put my foot in her lap and held it and rubbed it in her hands while she looked at the ceiling. I closed my eyes and was ready to receive the healing, but after 10 minuten she gave up and said it didn't work. I agreed it didn't and she told me that I should treat my foot 3 times per day with Ibux gel or Voltaren creme :-)
To day in the communal refuge I have company from 2 young girs from Germany and Henriette from NL and Horst from Germany. We have just had a pleasant evening meal together and are ready to hit the sack. (Not the same one!)
