A great hike today with cool morning clouds and a mellow afternoon sun. Amazing views and the grade was pleasant. We definitely have our trail legs now, but the trail through the Ariege has been much more generous with the switch backs. The gite in Aulus was not open when we arrived, so we walked across the street and found a nice cheap hotel (the rando recomende logo usualy signifies cheap and nice). Nothing worked in the room, but it was good enough for us and the room was big. The store in town was pretty limited if one is looking for specific stuff, but they have a little of everything - even hotel size lotions and shampoo which we had previously not found anywhere. The shop was also very expensive, but there is supposedly nothing else for 6 days (not true... the refuge at the lake, gites at Goulier and Siguer ... ? all have decent food supplies for sale).
