• Day 19 - Saint Quentin to Seraucourt le

    May 8, 2023 in France ⋅ ☁️ 18 °C

    A walk in the rain today with the Saint Quentin Canal on my right and glimpses of La Somme River on my left. I saw my very first canal lock, and I encountered my very first pilgrim on the actual path: a Dutch cyclist. He had the best gear, bike included - he didn't even look wet. I, on the other hand, looked like a drowned rat, LOL. I dropped my pole inside that water pump thing (bad photos I know, but the rain did not stop for a second). Thank God it floated and did not get sucked down as I was able to climb over the fence and retrieve it. I would be severely hampered with only one pole. That helped me to think about all the things I can be grateful for and all the fabulous wisdom people have shared with me, and I am benefitting from. Thank you all. 😊. P.S. the Cathedral at Saint Quentin was amazing - not much to look at from the outside, but seriously impressive once you got in the door.Read more
