This was a big trip for trains . . . we took a train from Paris to Bayeux, which is a town in the Normandy area of France. It was spared from bombing and an assault during the D-Day invasion because the Germans hadn't occupied the place with an active contingent of soldiers. We took a taxi to the hotel and tried to rent a car, but no dice. So we decided to walk around Bayeux and sign up for a bus tour of the Normandy beach/D-Day invasion sites.
The photo below of Ian is from the museum where the Bayeux Tapestry is held.
The Bayeux Tapestry commemorates the Battle of Hastings when William (Duke of Normandy) defeated the English and became King of England. The photo of Leah below is from the same place.
This photo below is of Catherine, Ian, and Leah standing in the window of the hotel room where we stayed (Hotel d'Argouges). The hotel was phenomenal!
