- Started the morning off with a last run around the Avignon wall. Up stairs to garden, elevated pushups 7/6/5/4/3/2/1 w/30 sec. rest between sets, then around to the end. 43:36.
- Traveled by bus from Avignon to St. Andre Les Alpes, the entry point to our hike through the Verdun Gorge. The trip started eventfully, as we nearly missed the bus leaving Avignon due to a misunderstanding around where it left from. Transferred to another bus, then to the train station ("gare" in French) in Digne Les Bains. Unfortunately the narrow gage train to St. Andre was out of commission; work was being done on the track. We took a third bus instead, arriving at St. Andre around 3 p.m. Took a walk around town and stopped for a fizzy water, and by very good luck met not only our guide John, who we remembered from a previous walk, but also our walking companions Alec and Elena, who were sitting at a nearby table. We had dinner as a group at the hotel restaurant that evening.
- In the evening, took a short walk over to the Verdun Gorge entrance, which was right across the street from the hotel. Amazing evening views of the rock faces and water below.
