25 Rue Des Bouchers Bayeux, Basse-Normandie, Normandy, France, FR-14400, 2-3192-0004
The trip to Normandy was a lot to absorb. It's hard to believe, that my grandfather Kelly was there on D-Day over 60 years ago.I certainly do not think I would have survived. I am thankful he did, I wouldn't be here. Nor my mother and her siblings, my sisters, or my nieces. His sacrifice has not only affected the existence of my own life, but the daily lives ...

Got to sleep in a bit this morning as
we weren't leaving the hotel till 9:00. The doors on the shower stall
worked, but the stall itself is one of those where if you turn
around, you knock against the faucet lever and end up completely
changing the water temperature.
I tried to make a phone call to Paris
this morning to confirm my shuttle reservation (I was given explicit
instructions to call two days prior to pick-up), but all I got on the
phone was a “ ...
Well, my little prefab shower room
didn't work so well. The room must have been tilted just enough
because the water from the showerhead would land on the side of the
tub and then cascade over the side, even though I kept turning it
toward the wall. When I was done with my shower, the bath mat was a
sodden mess, and the floor was completely covered in water. After I
finished using the bath towel I put it down on the floor, and it took
about four seconds for it to be ...

Bayeux, Normandy, France carivergaSo went to dinner and jason nearly burned the resto down. He put his napkin down on top of the tealight candle and it caught fire. Think they didn't like us too much at that point so it took about 1.5 hours for the food to come. Then when we were back up in the room, in typical male form, Jason decided to **** right in my face, TWICE!
We did a bit of the D-Day tour, went to Pegasus ...
... that read: in memory of my father who I never knew…’
Walking the many rows in this cemetery past rows and rows of stones that at first glance all look the same, I was touched by the many different inscriptions that they bore. One: to my dear husband who died to make this world a better place to live. Husbands, fathers, brothers, sons, but shockingly all were very young. Most of the stones bore ages ...
... that was faced those days. We travel a little ways down the road to the American cemetery. We have been to Arlington cemetery but this was even more moving since these graves are marked near the battle zones and thousands of miles away from the servicemen's homes.
We quickly dirve through the Canadian and British landing points of Juno, Gold and Sword. I know what you are thinking…sure they only spend time at the U.S. beaches and while there is some truth as we ...
... we headed
out for a beer and then back to the room for a rest. A storm was
brewing so we headed out to a Turkish kebab place just up the street
from the hotel. A decent meal as we tried to sort out all we had
seen that day, saying that we would still like to return again to
further explore the area.
Back to the room as the rain was
falling and we got ready for our next stop, Delft, in the
Netherlands.
... off season. The streets were narrow as it was, so being packed with tourists made it pretty unbearable. We bought a few post cards, tried the specialty cookie of the town and booked it. I can't imagine what it would be like there in the summer. It is basically a place just for tourists. There were also a few museums there too, but we skipped them in favor of seeing more of Normandy. We went back to the area by the hotel and ...
