France September 1 Aumont Aubrac

The night was filled with thunder and lightening, but there were blue skies in the morning, which made for a cool walk. What's the point of going up hill only to go down again? That was the extent of the day – up and down, up and down, etc. We reached the mountain village of Aubrac, which is very beautiful. This is also a popular stopping area for tourists traveling by car.

Across from our hotel was a play area filled during the day with young adults playing a game I'm going to call “ball”...like bocci. The concept is the same expect the play is a little more aggressive, like curling where rocks are constantly being knocked out of play. Also, the game is played with stainless steel balls, which makes for a different sound when balls are hit. At night the play area is filled with even more players of all ages playing under lights.
