I left Dunkerque this morning, plunging into the northern French countryside to get away from the busy highways and resorts of the coast. Today's cycling has been through rich fields of green with purple flowers and the scent of lavender. I feel like I've been moving through a live impressionist painting, and I am indeed getting closer to Vincent's wheatfields. Now heading directly south on "La Meridienne Verte"which takes me through communities on the meridien that runs through Paris. I'll have to post more later, becquse Iù, still leqrning the French keyboqrd qnd itùs hqrd for ,e to hunt qnd peck!
Saint Omer, 935 km

I like that: "Today's cycling has been through rich fields of green with purple flowers and the scent of lavender." If you could slow down just a tad and find out what the "green" was and what the "purple flowers" were (I presume, since the evoke an impressionist painting that they were poppies (Monet)) it wold be perfect. Catherine, cycle on, maybe not so fast and tell us more.
Cycle carefully,
Kris
