I saw this as I was browsing in the gift shops. Thought you’d appreciate it. It’s raining here so probably going to slow down and take it easy today. There is not much to do here besides shop, eat and look at relics from the past. Happily, I like all of the above. There is one…
I think the kids really know best. This picture is painted on the wall of one of the buildings here in Arromanches where I’m staying. I know how you like peace signs, Purity so this ones for you!
This morning I got on the TGV (pronounced Tay-Jay-Vay)bullet train into Normandy, France. I thought getting out of Paris to explore the French seaside might be interesting. Good idea! This is an important historical site for peace in the world. On June 6, 1944 – Allied Troops ( US, British and Canadian soldiers) landed on…
We are going to end our days in Paris with a Seine river cruise tonight. Just finishing up dinner: steak and French fries. Then I’ll walk down to the Eiffel Tower gardens again for one last look and a Seine river cruise. Wanna come?

We will be traveling under the English Channel (a body of water that separates England and France). We’ll get a croissant (yummy French bread) in the food court of the station before…
