This past weekend Dave (my husband) and I took a hike. Our first for the Spring/Summer season! We purchased a book last Autumn with 25 maps of hiking trails within 1/2 hour of our home in Saint-Gaudens, and were finally able to make use of it. Here in the center of the Haute Garonne (the name of our department), we are surrounded by the beautiful Pyrénées Mountains. We started with hike #3, a hike that included three different villages. The "hike" part was walking over the mountains rather than around the mountains to see each village. We had a BLAST looking at the beautiful world around us, talking and walking, huffing and puffing up the hills! 2 hours and 5 minutes later (the book says it should take 2 hours and 15 minutes) we were pretty beat, but of course, we made a decision to do this each weekend. So unless it rains, we hope to be out there each weekend struggling up, er, CONQUERING the mountain, and enjoying the wonderful world the Lord has made!
