Day 48s: The greatest Magic … (06/01/20190
I walked steadily onward, into and through the lovely village of St. Jeures, and eventually arrived in the town of Aroules. I had heard from pilgrims previously met that a kind couple ran a donativo hostel here, and — with the help of a few friendly locals — I eventually found the same. The co-proprietor, Gilbert, was home when I arrived, though he was at first not at all happy to see me and didn’t seem at all impressed by my Walk ( :O ) … It turned out that he and his wife, Marie, were about to head out on their vacation early the following morning, and as such it was pretty easy to set aside their cool demeanor and simply be extremely thankful for the hospitality they provided … 🙂
P.S. While Gilbert regarded me with guarded skepticism from start to finish, Marie did eventually warm to me and my mission, as evident in the warm photo of us together taken just before setting out the following morning … 😉
