Le Puy en Velay

You have probably being imagining us composing this blog while sitting in a cute little cafe or bar with WiFi, drinking espresso and eating pain au chocolate.  In fact here in Le Puy the only WiFi we could find is at the Tourist Office.  So here is Wendy sending an email after the office closed.  Too bad there is no bench to sit on!!


We have been here since Saturday and are staying at the Gite d'Etape Maison St Francois run by the nuns.  It's a great location right behind the cathedral and great for walking all over the old town.  Dinner and breakfast are included, breakfast being bread and jam.  We bought some orange juice and yogurt to flesh out the breakfast a bit, but some of the pilgrims leaving early this morning consumed it from the  fridge in breakfast room before we got there!  Guess they didn't read the signs posted on the fridge in different languages about JUST bread and jam!!!  The picture below is the Gite, our room with the open shutters - you can't see our laundry drying just inside. Tomorrow we hike.
