It must have been the hottest day of the vacation so far,
but that did not deter Mr. Pardon Me from wanting to
take a long, long walk through the countryside.
So...
they set off: the son, the husband and the Brooklyn blogger,
who was not at all sure this was such a wonderful idea.
You see, she was afraid that they might encounter one of the wild boars
that inhabit these Auvergnat forests.
She likes walking past the open apple orchards better,
or the fields of ripe wheat.
She especially liked the tree-lined paths
which lead to a beautiful chateau
But most of all, she enjoyed the encounters with the swallows,
the horses in the corral,
the curious cows in their barn
and the cock who came towards them to protect his hens.
In all, they walked eight miles in the heat. The Brooklyn blogger muttered under her breath for most of the way. It was hot, it was difficult walking and they had not taken enough water.
But they made it back to their little hill safely and soundly, if a bit heat stroked and exhausted.

Ah,les vacances!!!
Today, it must be warm, not hot. Another walk today?
See you later in Le Puy

What a fantastic walk, Katia. Can you get hydration packs there? You carry it conveniently as a backpack and it has a syphon so you can have easy sips whenever you need. I used it on my 100 mile walk (in 10 days) in Scotland last fall. It really helps make long walks a pleasure.
What a hansome young lad you and your husband produced there
