My new friend Ryan, from Virginia, took me to a lovely little bar, Le Saint Roch, just by the church of Saint-Roch de Montpellier which is my new starting point for the Camino de Santiago, or le chemin de Saint-Jacques as they call it down here. As soon as the weather gets better we plan to walk a short section of it up in the mountains. It is quite cold during the night at the moment and I am drinking lots of hot herbal tea to keep warm and help to get over the flu that I brought with me from Amsterdam.
