Because it was supposed to rain the whole day took the car to the city of Tongeren in Belgium. Tongeren is another Roman city and about 2000+ years old.

Quite a nice town as it turns out.

A tall, ornate church tower stands prominently in a square, surrounded by a few people, tents, and signs under a partly cloudy sky.

A Gothic-style cathedral with an ornate facade and towering spire stands amidst adjacent buildings under a cloudy sky, with a flag visible on the right.

A concrete surface displays the engraved text 1985 TONGEREN 2000 with greenery in the background.

Yesterday we visited Roermond for the first time, that is, outside the Outlet Center.

On the way there, the weather was fine, on the way back we sampled some nice Limburgish rain?

The landscape reminded us of home, but of course the better cycling infrastructure gave it away.

Une baguette un peu blonde

Also the shaping. But, quite chuffed, the old dough (the starter) spent 3 weeks in the fridge because of reasons.

The rise is good, we won’t talk about the cutting.
