I'm Walking in the Rain

Rain, deluge, call it what you will, it is wet! It was raining when we awoke and we left about 7:30 in a moderate rain. It didn't stop except for a few minutes when we were treated to a view of whispers of fog over the hills. It turned to a deluge by the time we arrived in the picturesque Conques. 

We sheepishly went into a bar/ restaurant and asked for coffee and to use the bathroom to change out of our sopping wet clothes. The woman was extremely kind and didn't turn us away. I was drenched from head to foot. I changed put of my shorts and into some dry pants and rang out my soaked socks. Other friends saw us and came in for coffee too. 

The Abbey where we are staying was packed with pilgrims and walkers trying to get out if their wet shoes and ponchos and packs and get checked in. Quite a zoo but a fun adventure!
