French Fashion ~ June 20, 2016

  • Monday, June 20, 2016
  • Day 51
  • Orsay (14 miles from Paris)
  • Weather: 60-68 degrees overcast
  • After the life of a pilgrim, this pilgrim wanted some French fashion.

My first purchase was a French rain cape. Unlike the American poncho, it has sleeves and closed sides seams.

Next purchase was a couple pairs of trousers and a blouse to augment my pilgrim outfit. Master quilter, Christine, kindly hemmed my trousers.

Reunited ~ June 19, 2016

  • Sunday, June 19, 2016
  • Day 50
  • Orsay (14 miles from Paris and 603 miles from Bilboa, Spain)
  • Time: 1 1/2 hours
  • Weather: 60-68 degrees, overcast becoming blue skies with clouds

After walking 625 miles, I made a smooth transition to traveling by airport bus, plane, and train.

Reunited with Christine, dear pilgrim friend I made the first night of my 2014 Camino.

French pastries served by Christine’s future daughter-in-law.
