I have a bit of catch up to do.
We arrived on the Normandy North coast last Monday and we have been really busy with visiting sites and getting the reception for President Obama and Sarcosy ready.
Visiting many hostoric battle sites and taking it all in.
One of the famous sites is St Marie Eglise , were one poor paratrooper got stuck on the church steeple. The poor bugger is still there.
WE also took advantage of the low tide and fine weather to drive on a number of beaches. Omaha beach here we come. A fantastic experience to be here and commemorate the landings .
Not good for Willy's under belly all that salt sand. But coming all the way one might as well.
Here is Willy with in the background some very smart looking Italians.
They brought a salut to us in respect of the distance travelled. They had heard from their friends in Sarponia about our trip .
News travels fast.
