Auvillar to Castet-Arrouy

April 21
After the flatness of yesterday we were to spend most of our day today going either up or down all day. The elevation difference on the map was not that great - from 74 to 204 meters- but it turned out that the map was just a general guideline and, in actuality, we had to do that several times. As it was a day of over  21 kilometers we were glad to finally reach our destination of Castet- Arrouy. This day was somewhat better for my feet as it wasn't all paved and actually had thirty percent or so on a dirt path. If I ever walk this way again I will make sure I have shoes that are good for pavement walking along with me. Now that's a challenge - is there such a thing? Maybe the MBT brand?

We passed through the small commuities of Saint-Antoine, Flamerens and the larger Miradoux to get to Castet-Arrouy. Each has its own charm even though they're quite different from each other. Check out the intertwined plane trees in the fourth picture down. And speaking to the last few pictures, (which look as if they could have been taken in Ireland) the camera just doesn't capture the beauty or the vastness of the rolling landscapes in France. What a beautiful country this is in so many places!.
