Our rest day in Cahors offered a pause for reflection about the path that is guiding us across France. For many we have met, the 500-mile French Camino is their Christian pilgrimage that has its roots all the way back in the 10th Century.
The Cahors Cathedral is a majestic reminder of the religious significance of the walk to the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela, Spain, where the disciple St. James is believed to be entombed. We have visited countless churches as we near the halfway mark of the French section; the Cahors building is one of the most impressive.
As I have walked this trail, my mind has wandered in many directions. Today, in Cahors, as Sue and I strolled the streets of this historic city, I was reminded that I walk where thousands and thousands have walked before me.
Sue will soon have more photos from Cahors on our website, carryoncouple.com.
Books and my backpack 
Something to think about , for sure. Many feet have smoothed the cobble over the centuries .

Right…I wish the pilgrims had literally smoothed the way, because the trail is rocky in many parts, and the rocks are anything but smooth!
