Morning in the isolated and silent hillsides around the Abby close to where we stayed the night...
Our sleeping quarters were far from the turmoil of the world
Making our way back to the busier roads where our journey must continue...
Running near the towns of Apt and Cereste
Here we are in Manosque...
...feeling the good French vibes after a pleasant morning's run
In Manosque we were received by city representatives and community leaders who offered us a buffet of delicious cheese sandwiches and boissons (drinks)
They also brought along some children who were eager to do some Saturday afternoon running
We were also joined by some cyclists
Introducing ourselves and where we come from...there are team members here from as far afield as Mexico and New Zealand
Merci beaucoup, Manosque!
And we were off!
In the countryside we met a cyclist named Stephan who was out for his weekend ride. He paused a while to find out what we were up to
Theresa carries the torch down the historic streets of Lou Pardigaou
Running through the south of France with its charming villages and beautiful countryside has been a great privilege and it will be hard for us to say goodbye...
