At the Abbey

Spent last night at the guesthouse of the Benedictine Sisters at St Scholastica Abbry in Dourgne, west of Castres - A 23k day for us including meeting new friends outside of Castres - pix below. Got to hear the sisters sing Vespers - wow; it was like listening to the angels sing in French.  6 of us walking pilgrims in the guesthouse got a considerably heartier meal than the folks at the other table who were doing a spiritual retreat- but only one bottle of wine. Obviously the sisters know the ways of pilgrims!!  Pix of the full moon over the abbey last night.
