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?

 

Regards,

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!

Canon WN 65 in 1944 and 2006.

The grill and the curtain of trees prevents to see the sea as in 1944.
