I have finally blocked out some time to catch up on the blog from our week of bicycling in the outskirts of Vannes. Linda and I enjoy riding in the country of Indy but we both agree the sights this week were breathtaking. We could not wait to see our view around the next bend. While riding on one of the many trails in this area, we saw this elderly couple out walking. We both commented on how many more elderly you see here riding bikes and walking. I hope this is Dave and I in about 30 years!
Most of the roads and paths we traveled were along the gulf. The weather was in the high 60's to low 70's. My perfect cycling weather. God blessed us with a week of beautiful weather!
We laugh about how long we spent taking this picture! It was our attempt at "hold the camera out at arms length and take the photo." I think we took about 10 shots to get us, the bike and the path in the picture. As you can see the stone walled path is not much more than shoulder width. These are the treasures you find on a bike that you wouldn't in a car. We talked about how much more we experience when cycling.
Just a forgotten boat among the tall grass waiting for the tide to come in.
Travellers came across this old stone bridge to reach the once busy harbour of Saint-Goustan. The town is full of history. It was the setting for a large battle in 1364, the "Chouannerie" counter-revolution, and it welcomed Benjamin Franklin in 1776.
