Champlitte to Dampierre sur Salon

[Bob from L.A. !]

Intentionally got up late knowing I only had a short 11 miles to do to Dampierre sur Salon and indulged in a good breakfast and lots of coffee ️.
I got on the road and went through a number of small villages and through some beautiful dark forested trails.
Passing a number of dated properties and gravesites I realized the area to be from the 1600's.
Once in Dampierre I am staying in a private residence where I met another of our forum members "David from freo" and his other half "Krishna".
We enjoyed a wonderful home-cooked meal together and lots of laughs to follow.
Being a forum member for so long, it was truly nice to meet someone else from the same niche community, from another corner of the world.

Ditto, Bob. Great conversation in the evening, with much good humour and fascinating tales we'll enjoy recalling for quite some time! We hope the rest of your journey goes well.

What a lovely experience for you all. I have been following Krishna, a fellow West Australian, on the Via Francigena. Enjoy the rest of your walk with the best yet to come!
