Walking in Europe

Up early this morning for the 90 km ride to the Verdun area. It’s raining, so I’ve had an extra “cafe crème”!

Yesterday was a shorter ride of about 60 km from Luneville (in the old Duchy of Lorraine palace city) through the larger city of Nancy (which we skirted) and onward for a late lunch at the medieval city of Liverdun. Much of the ride was along the Meurthe River with a stretch through a massive salt plant. Some of the riders continued to Toul for the afternoon. I stayed behind while Tom made a few repairs to the vintage bike.

A quick stop at the cemetery (necropole) at Chapelle was impactful once again.

I have posted more pictures as well as a few excerpts from A.D.’s letters for interested readers in the “Notes and Passages” section.
