French France

In just two days I managed to travel all the way from the French border in the south to the North coast of Bretagne. All for free! It has been raining almost the entire time but that hasnt kept me from having a great time. Ive met a ton of really generous and interesting individuals who have shared themselves with me and helped me along the way.

So don't stay home because you're scared that someone will attack you. Expect that people will be kind and prepare in case they're not. Then, when someone is generous, pass on that mentality to someone else and keep the torch lit.

Well, thats all for now. Expect some amazing photos soon.

Enrique de Alagon

Let me share with you a special experience:

Some way or another I found myself in a small village by the name of Alagon. I had just toured the museum and was walking the streets to the train station when I noticed a man tending his garden.

I said hello and I could tell by his response that he was a kind man. A conversation followed until I watched my train go by. He said no worries, that he would have me over for lunch until the next train came.

I met all of Enrique´s family and ate until I could no more. His kindness was astounding and had a big impact on me. I will cherish our time together forever!
