<DIV>We have no windchill here and actually I've seen some (oops) lots of
tulips, narcissus etc in holland yesterday at an exhibiton ( indoors). Any way
it looked very much like spring and it scented lovely ! No camino on your
continent, blizzards...I feel sorry for you. Yes I did the route from Vezelay
to St j P de P and it's the most beautiful one - going to le Puy and the
crossoing France by the Massif Cantral- to the Pyreneees. In a walking manner
it's more difficult, but it's very nice. Try to stay for one of two days in
Vezelay to get scaled down to pilgrim life, have a glass of whatever on the
trrace of cafe La Compostelle and see the church "la Cordelle"at the
bottom of the hill, which is supposed to be founded by 2 brethern of St.
Francis. Do feel free, to trouble me with your questions on the French
trail</DIV>
