Hey Vee.

You went by boat to see them from a short distance? Never done that by myself. Very interesting. Was it your own boat or did you hire one in Arromanches?

Ah, I see a great engineer's photo there. Incredible what those boys did!

We have our own personal tour guide, without leaving the warmth of our homes. I'm getting very spoiled! Je l'aime !

What is so fascinating, is the fact so many things remain the same. Even the words on the buildings!

News pictures !
