The woman at this café was extraordinarily nice. She whipped up some fries and a typical dish from the region involving various meats in a gelatin called potjevleesch. It means small meat salad.

Fields of wheat and colza, a couple windmills. No rain today!

I stayed at the Abbaye de Notre Dame. The nuns are cloistered so I only saw two. I did attend their 8pm service, which was beautiful. They were all joyful.

Stage 8: Wisques to Thérouanne

Lots of mud, lots of flowers. And, oddly, a small selection of dead animals. Rabbits and birds, mostly. Weird.
Stage 9: Thérouanne to Amettes

Neither Thérouanne nor Amettes have restaurants so it’s important to plan ahead. I bought the makings for a sandwich. 🤷🏻♀️
Amettes is where St. Benedict Joseph Labre was born.

Lots of forest paths and a good number of cultivated and uncultivated fields. A couple more small, dead animals (unphotographed). A road between fields with lots of small potatoes, even though theもっと詳しく

Made it to Ablain Saint Nazaire in spite of a bum ankle. Very long, hot day through lots of forests, rolling hills, farmland….and WWI battle sites and a huge cemetery (45,000 graves).

My knee is still iffy so I am off of it through tomorrow. Hobbled about a bit in Arras this morning and then took a bus to Bapaume.
