Paris to Normandy--Bayeux

St. Malo, France
Au Grand Hotel De Courtoisville

Way too far behind, but I'm trying to catch up.  

It's difficult with such busy days, trying to remember what you did yesterday.

Sunday we did a walking tour of Honfleur with our program director followed by a tour to Bayeux. 


Here's Anne showing this jail which dates back to medieval times.

 We saw two UNESCO sites.

The Tapestry Museum of Bayeux has a 230 feet in length embroidered fabric.  It dates back to 1066.  Naturally no cameras were allowed.  You were giving a head set which 
described all the events on the tapestry.  I can't imagine having an item that old.  In the US we are excited to have a Civil War artifact.  

We also toured the Cathedral.  I've already forgotten the facts of the Cathedral.

The Captain's farewell dinner was great.  It was a wonderful cruise and we're not over yet.

The following morning we boarded the red bus this time as we now have Isabelle as our program director.  There was a light dusting of snow.  

The entire crew went up on deck and waved good bye as our bus pulled away.  Halfway to Saint Malo we stopped in Caen to tour the Peace Memorial Museum.  

The museum was interesting and the best part was there was a German bunker that we toured. 

I'll try and finish more tomorrow night.  I'm way too tired to finish.

Turtle Safely........
