Best Western Hotel De Brunville Bayeux

... many. My French guide made the comment as we explored Normandy... "I may have been speaking German now to you if it were not for those that fought here." Their sacrifice affects many, and touches many... as my guide gave us the details of the American Cemetery, the Australian man next to me had to excuse himself. There is not much else to say, but, Thank you.

... boop-boop” noise. When I told the lady at
reception (using my best French, which she understood ... yay, me!),
it turned out that she had to turn on my phone line. So I made my
call, and when the man asked for my room number in Paris, I had to
tell him that I didn't know because I'm not in Paris. He was very
casual about it and said I should call sometime tomorrow when I know
my room number. So I had gotten all anxious about the call for
nothing (and wound up paying ...

... soaked. I was too scared
to use the hair dryer after that, so I was finally glad that I've
been hauling around my travel dryer all this time.

I walked downhill to the main hotel
building for breakfast. There was a pretty big spread, including
bacon and scrambled eggs. I had a crepe with Nutella, a piece of
salami, a piece of cheese and some juice. And then I hauled myself
back up the hill to brush my teeth, get my luggage and go back down
to the main building ...

... yesterday, was very cool. I am getting a good lesson in history......

Then today we saw where the allied forces built the temporary port, also very cool. Now in McDonalds.....yes I know, but its the only place in town with WIFI. Have decided to head south tomorrow, as it is now sunny outside but was a bit rainy earlier today and just reminded me too much of England weather......

... 18 and 28 with only a few in their 30’s. Such youth! It’s one thing to read that in a history book in high school when you’re only 16, but quite another when you’re in your 30’s and you can appreciate how short life can be cut.

Entering down into these caverns were thick rusted doors in which men placed their faith of security. Looking inside, you could see charred evidence of flame ...

... at those beaches because they were the ones that I was most interested in but more of a factor was the day is only so long and I could have spent a day at each beach going to the museums and reading the courageous stories of the brave Allied service men and women.

Well we have erased most of the spiritual healing we received at Mt-St-Michel and while it is depressing to think of all of the lives lost the main emotion is pride. We keep driving to Caen on our way to Paris.

... the morning but never really bad. TOur was very well done and educational. Stops included: 1. St Mere Eglise (Church tower with 82nd Airborne Museum 2. A Sur Plain - where two medics saved 80 wounded through raging battle in the church. Small town now only 42 people. We met the mayor who was driving a tractor. 3. Utah Beach where things went right for the wrong reasons. Only 17 died there which is truly ...

... a pastry and coffee before our next destination, Bayeux. Bayeux is known for the Bayeux Tapestry, which is a tapestry/embroidery from 1077 that is 20 inches high and 230 feet long. It was amazing. It depicts events leading to the Norman invasion of England ending up in the Battle of Hastings. The museum admission included an audio guide that explained each scene in the tapestry, there were 55. I could not believe it was so old ...
