Entry from: Normandy, France Entry Title: “Through Rouen to the Normandy coast” Entry: “Didn’t really stay long in Rouen, we were on our way to Normandy we like the Normandy coast and its villages the best We visited Mons St Michelle and walked its cobbled streets. Along with what seemed like the whole population of France. Peter walked up to the basilica at the top. I stayed in the town and ate ice cream …… now who is the clever one. We paid a visit to the American War Cemetery on the D Day landing sites on the Normandy beaches. A very moving experience. Thousands of young soldiers lost their lives. The cemetery is beautifully kept up by the French. Many homes fly French, English, Canadian, American and Australian Flags in recognition of the sacrifice made in WWII. It is pleasing to see that the contribution of all the Allied forces is recognised and respected. There are various monuments all along this section of the coast with a recent addition of a Canadian monument. We stayed overnight at a pretty fishing village.

Contrary to the widely held belief that they are a rude people, they are polite, kind and helpful (and better looking than the Brits). In the event they are rude is as a response to the rudeness of the visitor. So if you plan to visit France, be nice. The friends I am staying here are great hosts, and I appreciate Grace’s time and help in Paris and well as Clermont for letting me stay at his place and Camille’s family for the rest of the stay. Great sites; the Eiffel Tower is very impressive in person, and the Louvre houses the best artwork collection I have ever seen (my favorite is the “Coronation of Napoleon” by David). Food: Crepes, pastries, baguets, duck, fresh fruit all very good. City with good food so I splurged a little. One of my favorite places I found was an Arabic teahouse that is next to a mosque in Paris. I hate tea, but this tea was good and an anbiance that makes one feel like in the middle of an Arabic city/country. I am having an issue waking up on times since London and this is following me to Paris. I missed my train from London to Paris, but caught the next one a 1/2 hour later. I bought an alarm watch for the specific purpose of waking me up, but it hasnt …
