Friday

Started the day late. Had to search around the neighborhood for a place to take out the trash. I never know what’s recycling here or what’s trash because all the boxes are different colors and have no labels. I think I managed to figure it out though, so yay!

I still had time left on my 1 hour out of the house so I decided to make the hike up to the old abbaye on the hill. It was a steep and slippery walk because the path was covered in old paving stones.

Heading up hill!

I was 100% out of breath when I reached the top of the hill (both from the view and the general out-of-shapeness). There were broken walls and winding paths all around me. I could see across the entire village and out into the surrounding countryside.

One of the towers. Note the cross shaped window in the wall.

Some lovely stairs!
Check out the cute village behind me!

As my podcast ended and my attestation time ran up, I decided to head back down the hill. Definitely a little more dangerous as you’ve got gravity pushing you!
