1st Full Day in Bayeux























Had breakfast upstairs in our hosts dining room. Croissants, coffee and orange juice. Went to the Tourist Information to see what activities are scheduled for today. There are many Brits and Americans here in Bayeux for the celebrations. The newspapers all have Obama on the front page. He was in Caen this morning and this afternoon at the American cemetery in Couleville and on Omaha Beach. All areas are closed to visitors today because of this. So we went to the British Cemetery here in Bayeux where there was a very moving celebration with Prince Charles. This afternoon Dan and I split up for only the 2nd time on the trip - he went to the Normandy war museum and I went window shopping. Met back at 4pm for cappuccinos and back the house to rest before the big party in the park tonight.

HI guys - still loving your pictures and commentary. Roger and I had a chuckle over Dan going to the museum and you opting out. :) Hope you found some good souvenirs. Roger is envious of Dan's museum trip. Me? Not so much.

Can't wait to see more pictures when you return!
