July 5 - Normandy


It's pretty hard to follow a 4th of July tour of the invasion beaches. We had a great day, though it felt like we spent quite a bit of time on the bus. But we spent time in Bayeaux to see the cathedral and the tapestry, Rouen to see the cathedral there as well as some amazing architecture and the spot where Joan d'Arc was martyred at the stake, and we also strolled through some fields where the hedgerows were preserved as they were back in 1944.

In any case, I've been having a pretty difficult time getting photos uploaded quickly this morning, so I'm afraid I'll have to do just one from yesterday (and put the rest up when I have a better connection or when I'm home).

Today we're off to Belleau Wood and Verdun - pretty amazing locations. The Davidson group is doing really well, and it's been tremendously easy to enjoy everyone's company.
