Rain most of the 16.9 km (10.6 mi) walk and that was a blessing in keeping the temperature down to low 70s. The Achilles tendinitis held steady--no change from when I started today--I seem to be over focused on it, but it worries me because it could mean aborting the trip! The best outcome is that it gets no worse while walking and I may have to change Camino Routes to one with less hill climbing. The tendinitis, incidentally, started right after my 35 km day on Jul 27--now in its 8th day.
I stopped at the Office de Tourisme at about the midway point and the lady made a reservation at the camping site here for me and for the other three (who at 6 PM are still a no-show). I'm staying in a double-width trailer with two bedrooms--check out the pic. I stocked up on food for this evening and morning since there's nowhere to buy anything. BTW, I love seeing the advertisements for Bordeaux wines already. I'm not planning any wine tasting--will save that for another day.
