Excursion un

Yesterday, we met Eric, who is the professor for our religious course. We had class with him and he introduced us to the topic of pilgrimages. For this class, we will have lectures on Tuesdays and excursions on Wednesdays.

Today we traveled to Saint Bertrand de Comminges, at the foothills of the Pyrenees Mountains. It took a few hours to get there, but it was well worth the drive.


The first church we visited, Saint Just de Valcabrere, a romanesque basilica.
