hike day 19: maison labarbe

muchhhhhhh better today. though a few layers of skin have burned away from the allergic fever, the swelling has mostly receded thanks to anti-histamines and there has been no further evidence of the little critters whose name shall not be named! am crossing my fingers this is the one and only time we cross paths this trip.

today was a 39 km day. the first half was a breeze, particularly when i climbed over the crest of a hill only to discover the pyrenees stretched out on the horizon as far as the eye could see. though the heat has returned, i could see clear as a bell each and every rocky, snow-capped peak. what a sensational view!
