Day 1 Aix-en-Provence

In the early hours this morning one could hear a constant rattle echoing from the cobble stones as the pilgrims moved on. Arrivederci
One would say it was a challenging journey - six train changes up and down stairs, struggling with luggage. Thank God for our muscle men, Rob, Peter, Reg, Denis, Phil – Fr Paul helped........once. However the pilgrims gained a slight insight into Eugene’s long and difficult journey into Aix-en-Provence. Having said this, the scenery was spectacular and one could imagine what Eugene would have thought as he travelled to and from Rome.
Best news the pilgrims received today, the arrival of Tracey Johnson (Yr7 teacher) beautiful daughter, Ellie Grace.
Tonight the pilgrims will rest their weary bodies at Hotel La Caravelle after their first taste of French cuisine. An exciting day awaits the pilgrims as they will visit the place where St Eugene founded the Oblates. Stay tuned for more blog casts.
