Day 46u: A King for a Day … (05/30/2019)
I got up and ambled on easily enough, up & out of Bourg Argental, and let The Way guide me smoothly all the way to the neighboring hamlet of Burdignes. It was here that I then saw what I though was a pilgrim’s hostel by the side of the path, so I stopped in innocently enough to ask for my standard glass of water (and maybe to share about my Walk and its Peace-full Mission) … Well, to my great surprise, I ended up missing the hostel entirely, and “crashing” the mid-day family reunion meal of the Christaud-Estivalls instead; a lovely group of folks who — despite being blatantly taken aback by the scraggly pilgrim who had suddenly appeared at their door — humbly heard my story, and then generously (and quite good-humoredly) offered to make yours truly the newest “King of Burdignes”; treating me warmly to seemingly never-ending helpings of kindness and pasta and bread and apples (and even an espresso for dessert) … :O 😀 😀 😀
