... 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.

... David, many of the
inscriptions read something like, “Known only to God.” Oddly,
it's not a sad or depressing place. I mean, it's not exactly a happy
place; it does make one thoughtful and contemplative. But it's not a
“downer.” I found the graves of two of the Niland brothers, whose
story “Saving Private Ryan” was partially based on. Teddy
Roosevelt, Jr. is also buried in the cemetery, but I didn't look for
his headstone. There is a ...

... so they developed a sort of sign language to communicate.
Margarit showed us some of the signs, and we were able to make sense
of most of them. The monks were also forbidden to have any heat
source in their dining room, which is on the north side of the Abbey.
I can't imagine how cold they were in wintertime, especially as they
only wore sandals on their feet. The tour was very interesting, and
the only unfortunate thing was that we were sandwiched between two

So 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 ...

... time his tank was actually hit and the blow knocked him out (later he realized it made him loose his sense of smell), but he awoke outside and never knew who pulled him out and rescued him.

I’m sure many have similar stories who’ve been through a war. But many do not as it evidenced by the many cemeteries dedicated to soldiers, airmen, and sailors. We stopped at the American cemetery. It’s a ...

... still see waves breaking
over the top of the concrete piers maybe ¼ mile offshore. The movie
in the cinema was very interesting, mixing the battle scenes with the
same locations today in surround sound and visuals. We then hit the
road and wound our way down to Omaha Beach, where the Americans
landed and was the bloodiest portion of the landing. The Germans
were ready and had the beach well defended on bluffs atop the beach.

... I've driven here - would equal the same amount of times I've been tailgated in OZ. And remember in OZ - the last 16 years I've driven about 2 hours a day to get to work. This tailgating is F&*ken crazy - not only that - we were driving in severe fog - no-one had fog lights. The speed limit is 130KPH - in most parts I was doing the 130 and I was getting past most of the time like I was standing still - to do that - they ...

Normandy and the Paris-Roubaix Friday April 10 - Sunday April 12 We took a somewhat impromptu road trip this weekend. Suzanne (from New York) finally was able to get her car fixed, so we decided to take a weekend trip to Normandy. Jason and I left Laon by train to Tergnier, which is midway between Noyon, where she lives, and Laon. She picked us up around one. We stopped to pick up some snacks, gas, and a map. We decided our main ...
