Update from France!!!

---

hello everyone!!!

Glad to be updateing everyone. I am doing well and enjoying the french country side. I have so much to say and so little time to express it. I am currently walking the camino Frances through sothern france, tomorrow i will take a train to the boarder of Spain and France and continue my travels through the pyrenees. I am really getting a feel for the french way of life sitting in cafes, eating at boulangeries and eating four course meals with cheese and red wine. I have met some really great people along the way from all over the world. The netherlands, spain, canada, france, germany. It is hard to describe in words over a internet travel blog but i want everyone to know that it is an amazing experience!

I am always thinking of everyone and i hope that everything is going well back home i will try to check in more often but it is a little difficult to find internet access.

I love and miss everyone,
Brian

p.s. sorry for any typos or grammer issues, a french keybord is very different haha.
