France September 7 Conques

Today was mostly uphill climbing and through forests, across a few streams and through more farm lands. The descent to Conques was steep and rocky, which always scares Julie, but we made it – slow and steady. The Conques town is build on a hillside and the buildings are medieval looking. The town's Abby/church and museums are the focal point, which attracts many tourists. And the Abby is truly amazing. We went to the pilgrim mass and experienced the superior quality of the acoustics. There were hymns and a priest playing the piano. The sound was beautiful, especially surrounded by architecture hundreds of years old.
