Last night a father and daughter from Frankfurt came into the place I was straying and also a Swiss man. During dinner The German got going on the fact that Germany has troops in Afghanastan even when they are not supposed to be doing any fighting. He was absolutely strident about his opposition to any war. He kept saying that with Germany`s history in the first 1/2 of the 20th century they should absolutely not be anywhere near a war. The Swiss man seemed to me to be a professionsl pilgrim. He is a youngish man who is somehow on a disability pension. This is his 5th time walking the Camino. He has walked every Way that I have read about. High fat dinner again.
There was no rain today which was a blessing! I walked about 21 km over mostly flat but sometimes rooling landscape. The weather has been so cold and wet here this year that the corn which is supposed to be about 4 feet high now is about 8 inches high. The farmers and the walkers are tired of this cold weather. TV says one thing and the newspapers say another about the weather here tomorrow. I go with the TV! No rain!

I have been enjoying your posts very much. Of course, I have never heard of any of these towns you're mentioning save one- Paris!
So in what I qualify as a "wow, cool technology!" moment, I went to Google Earth. I realized I could save all the towns you visit in the "My Places" folder. Now I can zoom in and out of where you've been and where you are now!
