Between two trees

Sometimes when walking on the Chemin le Puy a very human thing happens. After refueling the body with liters of water, one must defuel. The urge to defuel comes at the most inconvenient time. You can bet you will have to pee when walking 5 km down a gravel road with not bush in sight. Or when there is a group of male pilgrims, including a Catholic priest, coming up behind you on the trail. So it happens Carol and Leslie have a few extra challenges when relieving themselves in the great
outdoors. The number one difficulty being balance.

This day was like any other. Pilgrims pilgrims every where. Carol could no longer detain the defueling process. Two trees appeared on the horizon. Carol swiftly prepared to defuel, even though the group of three male pilgrims were speedily approaching from the "south"..as the defueling process began, Carol lost her balance and ended up nose first in the freshly plowed field adjacent to the two trees. The men slowed their pace and diverted their gaze away from Carol, face end down and you know, the other end, right there in front of them. While quick clothing adjustments were made by Carol, Leslie went for her video camera. In the quickest flash of
Carol 's former lightning fast speed, she was back eating her lunch while the men passed by, their faces revealing what they had observed occurring between two trees.

And all this time, Leslie, the woman claiming to be Carol's friend, laughed and made comments from the sidelines.

And guess who we saw on the trail this morning. Grins all around as the passed us again while polite head nods were made to maintain the hysterical laughter brewing inside.
