I walked a good 26 km today through mining country. Some of it in the sun, which was lovely. You can't throw a stone where I am walking in France without coming across a church or a cemetery. I try toRead more

There is not much to report today. I had a genuine rest day after my Garmin watch told me I was "over reaching" yesterday! I'm calling France "the land of the cute little car"; they are everywhere! IRead more
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).

Traveler Wow Carmel. This looks such a beautiful walk
Carmel Carlsen It was Jen. Every day is picturesque scene after picturesque scene. It is incredible!
Traveler Carmel I so appreciate your Photos and Descriptions 👏👏👏🤗. An observation from My Galician experience, is that you see and photograph open country and significant religious sites more. I do see open country in green lush Galicia, but few v significant religious buildings.
Carmel Carlsen Honestly, Bruce, they are everywhere here! I love them. Make sure I show you when I get home. I have heaps more shots that I can't share because of the 10 photo limit.
Traveler WoW nice idea 👏👏👏
Carmel Carlsen 👍
