Next stop was Gavarnie, site of a great cirque and Europe's highest waterfall. We have now seen all of the 3 big Gs: Giverny, Gavrinus, and Gavarnie, representing our interests in arts and humanities, archaeology and history, and mountains.

| One of the aires at Gavarnie; not a place for solitude |
 |
Environs; very dry, warm, reminiscent of the southern
Rockies, except not so high |
 |
We decided to brave the heat and hike out
for views of the cirque and cascade; here is
randonneur Vicki |

| Another flower |

| More environs |
 |
Part of the hike was on the Santiago trail, so we hope to get
another plenary dispensation or at least some time off for
good behavior in Purgatory... |
