hike day 6: estaing

note to self: lead with walking stick to avoid indiana jones style face full of cobwebs. that would be the prize for trailblazing through the alternate yet more scenic GR6 to espeyrac. quite the varied terrain, but mostly in remote country paths which farmers clearly use to shepherd their bovines to and fro. consequently, the din was astonishing from swarms of flies buzzing around multitudes of cow pie (there it is again, all roads leading to pie!!) the good news: they weren't the biting variety. the downside: they live only to find a nice comfy orifice in which to lay their eggs. further to a short gestation period, i may just give birth to either ArachnaBoy or Lord of the Flies.
