Dinant, Belgium.
1897
July 16.
  Weather similar to that of yesterday but with clouds
gathering in the late afternoon.
  We all left Rheims at about 10 this morning and reached
Dinant at 4.30 P.M. The change from the breezy open plains
which surround Rheims into the wooded hills of Ardennes begins
a little north of Charleville. Thence to Dinant the railroad
follows the Meuse closely, piercing many a projecting cliff
by tunnel. The hills and ridges are nearly all densely wooded
from base to summit but the trees are mostly small.
