This is just the beginning

In my end is my beginning” – T.S. Elliot

My life is just starting. On the first days, the weather was still unpredictable. A clear day, then a downpour late in the afternoon.

It was a challenging day. Google map took me to unusual trails and dead ends. I was just nodding my head and turned it off. I took another map app called Komoot which is much better. In spite of it, the beauty of this place made me forget the rough trails.

A stop to have a coffee

No matter where you are, there is something to admire and learn from the surroundings.

While going through rough trails, I finally reached a stretch going to the center of Saumur. However, it started to rain hard on this stretch. I was pedaling as fast I could to get there. I was soaked and all I cared at that moment was to find a place to stay. Luckily, I found one. It was expensive then I thought, but that was the least one I could find. All I wanted at this time was a quick warm shower, a dinner, and crawl into bed.

There was a festivity going on in the center, but it was more enjoyable to stay in bed, than going out there and watching what’s going on.
