Les absents avaient tort. We started along the Berges de l’Hérault, and as
we descended to the river, we discovered that part of the trail had been
damaged by the recent floods. As we walked a bit further, we noticed that
the wild boars had been there before us. Fortunately we didn't see any, nor
did we see any hunters, though at one point we noticed that we were on a
trail of blood, and it looked like a dead animal had been dragged up-hill.
We were not entirely without wildlife. We saw a llama, some sheep, and a
couple of donkeys (even though we were not really in the Cevennes). The
trees were not as spectacular as Indian Summer in some countries, but there
were some very colorful flowers along the way.
We crossed the site of a
former gravel quarry, which had to shut down because of environmental
concerns about it changing the banks of the Hérault.
All in all, a lovely
afternoon, thanks to Mariannick and the weather.
Maggie wrote: if the three AWG members on the hike had carried flags, they might have been called the “tri-color team.” All three red, white and blue, but in different arrangements. American, British, and French, but there are many more red, white &blue flags in the world, and AWG could field members from several other countries with those colors.
