What a hassle finding food! Glad you found some.

A pulpit used by the priest to preach from.
Churches built after Vatican 2 tend not to have them.

If it weren’t for the water and vegetation, this looks like a rock pile from Joshua Tree.

Now that’s really beautiful. We’re going to have to invest in better ringear and head up that way.

Thanks, Bill. I had no idea it was parasitic.

Interesting. I was brought up Catholic (I'm very lapsed) but always associated the Angelus with mediæval abbeys. On the other hand, Assumption was just last week and it's a big national holiday in France. I think for most people, it's just a long weekend.

If bad weather is forecast, I put off buying lunch supplies and plan to eat in a restaurant. The trouble can sometimes be finding one. Many villages don't have one anymore.

Thanks, Keith! That was my guess, based on nothing.

Doesn't look like it's working very well here.

Yuck! I wonder which multinational agribusiness is responsible?

Hi again,
The bells in the morning and at noon are the Angelus. A very Catholic tradition for a supposedly secular country, don’t you think?
Cheers,
Keith

Hi Jaquie,
Looks like wheat to me. I’m enjoying your tour having visited Brittany last year.
Cheers,
Keith

We have seen lots of plastic fields as well.

Our weather is changing as well ...it was a good run. Hope it improves for you. Can be frustrating when things close up between 12 and 2 just when it would be nice to stop for a midday break especially if the weather is not great.
